Does anyone here know for sure that the insurance rates are different or that they will not cover a company at all? I wonder if it is just an excuse a company gives for their policy or if it's real.

Is there actual legal liability for letting employees have food at work? If the worst case scenario happens...crazy at work, food fight, people killed by anaphylactic shock from peanut allergies...what could happen to the company?

I would like to get out of the "feelings" arena and know some facts.

My company handbook says only "authorized persons" are allowed to possess guns at work. The HR department says if the State issues you a CHL it means you're "authorized".

There are two of us who carry in my office and a third who wants to get his CHL but is working on wifely approval (and financial, since it is somewhat expensive to get and they just had a baby). Everyone in the office knows we carry. Nobody thinks twice about it.

I think you're right for the majority of claims: "everyone knows" that "insurance requires" 30.06 notices at gun shows, and "insurance requires" banning guns at work. I'm still waiting for verifiable confirmation of that claim, though.

I noticed a letter posted at a customer location recently, telling their employees that company policy no longer prohibited them from having firearms secured in personal vehicles on company property. They still can't carry on their person at work, but this is an improvement. The letter made it clear that the new policy was in consideration of personal defense while enroute to and from the workplace, and for those who hunt before/after work.

Unfortunately, it did not cover vendors or contractors (like me). Also, unfortunately, the company I work for has a policy against firearms on company property, in company vehicles, or on customer property.

Oh, well. LIttle strokes ...
