Also, my job screens everyone going in and out of the building for metal (fulfillment center) and no weapons are allowed. I work in a shady part of town (2 people were killed at the gas station across the street this year). I know better to NOT leave a weapon unattended in a car but I have had a gun already pulled on me... I want to carry, but can't at work... Any advice?
EDIT: Can't have ANY weapons, no pocket knives, no swiss army. Nothing... nada.... Stupid I know

As far as classes, find a NRA certified range/training facility. They can guide you in the right direction. Here's one near you:

Get a new job....
Sorry but that's about it. I have a mini-safe mounted in my Jeep for odd situations like that but I do not rely on that daily. You are facing an issue that every active duty soldier faces daily, don't carry and possibly be a victim, or carry and face courts martial, in your case, termination.
No easy answer bro

You can get a lockbox for your car if you feel comfortable with the idea, and state allows.

I will look into that, I drive a WRX and (knock on wood) that it's a big target to get broken into..... Maybe I should look into getting a crappier car :P

Basically you lock the gun in the car before you go into work. Pull in our when you come back out.

What fits my needs won't necessarily fit yours. A good under the seat container can end up working well for me, while you may be able to use a console style etc.

That is quite a pickle.
Either get a different job before you end up dead, or buy one or more of those polymer blades/spikes that get past a metal detector.
I don't believe it is immoral to violate an immoral rule...

Before you start carrying, educate yourself on local, state, and federal laws regarding carrying firearms and self-defense.

You could wear a vest for transit if it is that sketchy. The composites have gotten pretty strong for a fixed blade that is non-metallic...but who wants to bring a knife to a gun fight?

Right? I mean a knife in a gun fight is a lot better than a "please don't shoot" in a gun fight, lol!!

LTC (Join to see) - I would, but I think the pay I get, especially at 20 will be hard to come across again! I can send you my current resume if you have any pointers? Thank you Sir!

Your "screeners" should allow you to "check" your weapon in. Just declare it and pick it up when you leave?

If your state allows, I'd go with "open carry" --especially in those cases when you have to re-fill the car. Otherwise, fill 'er up on the other side of town 'til you get your permit.

I have my opinions on open-carry and I don't see myself doing it in the foreseeable future.
