You really don't think so? I'm no CEO but I imagine carrying a gun around would at least warrant some public criticism, particularly for a tech CEO in the San Francisco Bay Area.
- ghaff 8y agoIn areas of the country where some material number of people do carry firearms (e.g. Texas), it's not uncommon to have explicit signs on company buildings that forbid firearms. I imagine that's pretty common policy at many if not most companies.
- paulddraper 8y agoThough unless they have metal detectors, it's a bit like requiring your employees to wear briefs. If you can tell they're not doing what you say, they're not doing it right.
- ghaff 8y agoDepends. There are open carry and concealed carry licenses. Also, if you are an employee and sneak a weapon in and someone finds out, you will be fired.
- sizzzzlerz 8y agoWe had a CFO bring a handgun onto company property in his car. Some one spotted it (apparently, it was in plain view in the car) and notified the police. He was given a talking-to by the cops and then by company reps. He wasn't fired at that point but he was gone in a month or two. Related? I don't know but it wouldn't surprise me. The company is in Sunnyvale, site of the Richard Farley murders at ESL in 1988. So, yeah, I think the police would be interested in knowing his intentions.
- johngalt 8y agoWhy? If you were worth hundreds of millions, wouldn't it make sense to have some means of self defense?
- dooglius 8y agoSure, I'm just saying that I would expect some people to take issue if I did.
