Question about Open-Carry

[Irving]

There really are very few laws protecting you as an employee. If your boss asked you to sleep with her and you refused, she could legally fire you.

That doesn't mean that you wouldn't be able to sue them and settle out of court. There is a pro-gun attorney thread stickied in here some where if you think you need help. Doesn't the union offer you any protection from stuff like this? Good luck tomorrow.

Seems to me it will be based on your employee contract or in the absence of that it will be the employee handbook (got to think KS has a long list of do's and don'ts)

My employer specifically prohibits any carry while on company business or at a company site unless given specific OK based on conditions (out in remote locations a truck gun is sometimes allowed).

This being a right to work state unless you are union you have a right to carry and they have a right not to employ you. Got to make your choices.

I am not saying I support that position but I reserve the right to employ who I want when I hire as long as I do not discriminate based on a protected class. I have had several small companies and while I would respect your right to carry I might ask you not to do so in certain situations. Even when off the clock you are still representing in some respect the employer if at the location.

Ok, if I was told I can't carry while in there while working or not working I wouldn't. But in 3 years I was never told I can't and I talk about guns a lot.

I suspect she will ask you not to open carry and is more worried about upset customers then taking your job or getting in the middle of a gun rights issue.

Give her the benifit of the doubt, see if she is reasonable.

I got fired for taken the CC class(at gander Mtn) then running into the HR bitch for crocs when i was leaving the class.

Bitch: Hi what are you doing here
Me: taking a class
Bitch: Oh
she saw the sign about the ccw in front of the classroom and knew what class i was taking and was fired a month later, just enough time for her to make up some shit about me

Crocs the bar or the shoe place? I used to work the door at the bar.

I am thinking she is just going to ask you not to open carry while on company property. she can't say a whole lot about CCW as long as she never sees it. customers probably know you and want to know why you open carry, which could cause problems for the company...and for me too since I own stock!

I would imagine she will just talk with you about it. She wouldn't want to get in a big legal dispute over your right to carry etc. etc. but it also depends on what your company handbook says and the rules of working there. if anything is in there (and probably is) that says you can't have a firearm on company property or whatever BS they feed you, that might be grounds for termination.
