Glenn and David,
You both pose interesting discussion.
Let me frame it this way, does any employer have the right to deprive you of the God-given right of self defense? That is without offering you protection thru some security measures? If no then I see this differs a bit from stealing company supplies and/or proselytizing your religion both are "intrusive" and cause damage to the company or it's employees rather than "unobtrusively" carrying a weapon which harms no one. That may be a poor sentence but I think you know what I mean.
If I am murdered at work can my wife then sue the company for my death in that the company did not protect me? If not, then it might be argued that the company cannot keep me from carrying. If the company is responsible for my safety and takes reasonable means to protect me then that's one thing. But if they say we are not responsible for your safety but you cannot carry either then the ethics of that is tough. This sort of falls under a type of civil disobedience. I know you must suffer the consequences if caught but it might be ethical to "disobey" your boss on this one. Kind of like the Pizza Hut Deliveryman.
Wondered what you thought?
