Can't take my Mosin to work :(

Post by Rocket »

I'm just joking here, not that I'd ever expect to take a rifle to the office. It would just be nice to be able to tear it down during lunch, oil it up, mess around with it.

Ok, got that off my chest. :roll:

Cool, I'm jealous. Just don't bring them to the interview, they always freak out when people do that. ;)

I always have guns at work :)

Don't be too jealous. Picking up a second job at a gun shop to help feed a milsurp addiction is nothing to admire. I think I need help.

I'm normally carrying a pistol with me at my work. Whenever I can legally of course.

Hmm, valid question, but I meant why would it be frowned upon to bring guns. Sarcasm all the way. :biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin:

Can't take mine to work either, I feel your pain. It would be like take your son or daughter to work day every day if I could.

This is the scrap business, cash, valuable metals, douchebags of every description drifting in with metal they probably pried out of their mothers teeth. It would be odd if I didn't have a weapon, it's an odd day if I don't have two weapons, or three......

I have taken parts in to work on and mostly polish. My boss stared hard at my Mosin bolt one day! I.....didn't even acknowledge that, just let him be. It was all I brought. It cleaned up well in my ultrasonic cleaner. I also polished the feed ramp on my Ruger SR9. Didn't let anyone see that barrel. :biggrin:

As long as its disassembled and all the parts aren't there at the same time we can use the parts cleaners etc at the shop where I work. Parking lot is another matter. Guys show off their new acquisitions all the time.

Guess I am lucky, I take guns to work every day. And hope I don't have to use them.
