    Ok folks I have a honest question right off the batt I am throwing company regs out the window the the sake of the question and ask this... is it possible (with a gun safe) to be able to have my ccw and be good to cover my ### if dispatch leaves me sleeping in some less than reputable locations?

    Short answer, no, with a lot of complications. Your ccw does not cover 50 states. Some states you have to have it unloaded, even in a safe. If a shipper/receiver has a no guns sign on the gate, it is illegal to bring a gun on their peopery. If you go to secure locations like nuclear plants, prisons, courthouses, military bases, or anything like that, you can not legally bring a firearm onto the property. Certain types of guns and magazines are completely banned in some states and citys.
    That being said, people do carry, but at your own risk. You have to know the laws well everywhere you go.
    It's much easier to carry bear spray (oc gas). Or even wasp and hornet spray can stop a full grown man.

    I have been to argon national labritory's nuclear chemistry lab, I know for sure they do not allow any weapons on their property and will not hold them. One time they even gave me a hard time about my pocket knife.
