Yep, no guns.
When I was in the military, we had signs up all over the place about how lethal force was authorized against intruders, but they didn't give US any guns.

I vote DMT "Most Likely To Shoot The Place Up"! :beer:

I'm sure that mentality is what has the headcases on the job with firearms in the first place.

Hey, it's good to see my stalker hasn't forgotten about me.

My company has a strict no guns policy. It even extends to the parking lot and our cars...How the bloody hell they intend to enforce that I'll never know. I've had guns in my car in the parking lot at work before. It's none of their damned business what I have in my car quite frankly.

we've tried to get our employer to let us carry a small handgun of some type but they won't hear of it. (I work for a land surveying company, on an average we see around 30 poisonous snakes a summer)

Even though I work for a bank, they allow guns in the car. Well, passively allow, I guess, not implicitely. During hunting season, there are at least 8 of us who take off when the buzzer hits 5pm, and we are out in our stands within 20 minutes.

hmm. not many civilians carry weapons in my country.

yeah.. um, no one brings guns to work here. or anywhere else for that matter, unless they're going hunting, skeet shooting, etc. or are in law enforcement.

We have a No Guns Policy, but in the Financial Industry, many people could use a good scare of Glock 17C to leave me alone about getting their docs bumped up front. People will never understand the idea of first come first serve.

Uh, no. I dont think so. I get angry often enough but I could far worse things than shooting up the office if I got pissed.

Yes, my job is just that cool. I can do WORSE THINGS THAN SHOOTING UP THE OFFICE.

We can have guns but no knives or spray paint.

Depends on the day. Most of the time I'm not packing.

Other times, I've got a Browning Hi-Power and a C7 (M16).

Guns are not permitted on the property of my State agency. Someone was fired recently for having an unloaded shotgun in his vehicle.

There is no concealed carry here. There is almost no carry period, as far as handguns go.
