Ok...here is my question. My workplace, like most, forbids any employee from carrying a firearm or even a long knife of any kind. Ok, no problem I say (even though it is a warehouse and box knives are everywhere). My area of conern is that even in the parking lot, which is part of the company property, the same rules apply. So even if I wanted to have available a firearm or knife for personal protection on the way to work or on the way home, it would be in violation and I would be subject to termination. It's a difficult situation as I see many possible scenarios during my commute that could involve a need for me to protect myself ( assaulted and robbed while getting gasoline, a late night stop at an all-night market in the midst of a robbery, a car jacking attempt, etc.) I am at a loss as to what to do. I don't even want to think about losing my job, yet I certainly feel that keeping a firearm in my personal vehicle is of danger to no one.
Any suggestions?
