I don't carry at work because it's against company policy. I used to, but the Marine in me kept screaming that I was disobeying orders and I was a nasty pig.So I keep it in the car but put it on when I go to lunch and when I leave for home.
I have a CCW so I can wear whatever I want and carry. I always wear business attire, sometimes with a coat or jacket.
Here's the question: I have been invited to a business lunch. Knowing that you've only been with this firm for two months and the sight of you walking into the restaurant to sit with business partners strapped (thanks governor kaine) would probably stiffen the gentry; and knowing you will probably be asked to ride with the company president in his car...
WHAT WOULD YOU DO??
I don't want to freak these people out. But it's a public place and I'm fully within my rights to carry my firearm legally, as I do everywhere else.
My best option so far is to wear a coat until we get there. Casually take it off when we enter. Be extremely pleasant.
Here's the nightmare scenario, I get to the door and there's a big fat "No Guns Allowed - defensless victims inside" sign!
"Excuse me Mr President, may I leave my rather lovely Kimber .45 in your glovebox? Heheh...thanks..."
