I feel your pain. I was a contractor for 5 years and finally got converted...well I had to compete for my job anyway. Luckily they kept me but to tell the truth I made more money as a contractor and the benefits are better. Lots of folks like to squawk about how good feds got it but there is a lot of down side to public service too. A bit more security after probation is over but you can still get RIFed. Good luck to you.
whos going to know?.... except for the inspections....
Right I do know, on my third contract out there, I do know the FTEs here have mandatory OT and other non-benefits on their side as well. Lol. I like what I do and who I work for, so no big complaints other I have seen contracts end and been in between several times. Plus really no one for us to carry the banner for us really. I do wish I didn't have to leave my protection at home. I leave here for other duties that bring me home late at night. Just wish I could have protection then. The cops can't be everywhere.
See you around, thanks!
Well it's not like a business with the no weapons sign they just ask you to leave or I think it's misdemeanor trespass.*
Or now away from federal facility without ccw loaded handgun is small fine/misdemeanor.
Caught there I believe it's a felony, okc police arrest you, maybe jail time(?), fees, no government work again, no income, loose house, wife...well you get the picture.*I think at federal facility it's a bad bad deal, not worth my chance.
All for the price of admission....
I too am not willing to take the risk. I thought I had heard a while back that they had attempted to get the Fed to allow employees to keep firearms in their cars in parking lots but it was shot down. I will try to find that the info but I could have been dreaming it up.
I will be interested in what the union tells you on the matter. If it had been shot down, hopefully they will present the matter again.
I work for a public school district so no carry for me. Not even in my car.
Me to, fortunately there is a large parking lot adjacent to the district property where I work that I park at. So I do Carry to and from work. I donate enough to united way every year that I get a key club parking spot which my vehicle rarely uses. Usually only when I ride to work do I not have a firearm and park on district property.
