I say do what you need to do DISCRETELY, and be prepared to accept the consequences should the day come that you need to act. The company is just protecting itself, and so should you.

At one time the company I worked for forbid any type of alcoholic beverage on the company premises. One day an employee opened his trunk of his vehicle and another employee observed a bottle of whiskey in that trunk and reported him. He was fired. Until then, I'm sure he thought he was discrete enough.

Substitute handgun for alcoholic beverage and whiskey above. You never can be too careful. Don't violate company policy unless you don't mind getting fired and explaining it to potential future employers.

BTW, company policy has changed over the years.

What happened to the tattle tale? I've seen such things happen, the employee got fired, and even worse things happened to the squealer.

That's the bottom line. Do what what you need to do and be willing to face the music, if that's maybe being fired
or if it's maybe being fired at and not being being able to shoot back.

Whatever you think is a worse risk, take appropriate action to protect yourself.

Unfortunately, unless they go to a supervisor who doesn't like the policy, (but has to pass on the information anyway) the companies tend to make it hard to find out who squealed. I tend to protect my sources, but then, I think everybody in the company knows that reporting an employee to security for having a gun in their car will just result in us wanting to go see what it is and how much he paid for it

I can't count the number of times it must have looked like a serious incident, with two uniformed guards and two or three big shop guys wedged halfway into somebody's back seat or trunk, looking over their new custom AR15 or 1911.

I will always (protecting my self) no matter what

IMHO

Thus never ask and I wont tell, unless it is formatted correctly according to "Texas State Laws"
