You should tell the boss that you suspect that he is drinking on the job or perhaps using illegal narcotics and that a urine test as well as a hair sample is appropriate for the continued safety of the entire company.

I suppose that is fine if you want to get fired. If you need the job then do some checking and show him the law.
If you worked for me and made such comments you would be fired. Some real mature advice from the folks here???

Are those old refrigerators filled with EPA regulated chlorofluorocarbons? If so, that could result in a huge fine, as well as other penalties.

Easy reply..."It's better to be thought a fool than to open your mouth and prove it"...then just walk away.
 
this one's almost as good as thursday night, i was working for a gal setting up some event. we were setting up the back drop and she noticed how great my sebenza was working for job. so she turns to go grab a box cutter or something... imagine her surprise when i reach in my back pocket and say here, looking for one of these? :D the look on her face was priceless...

but she put it to good use! i was so proud of her...

Sorry, since I did not see any smileys I assumed it was just advice from a "hothead." You might be surprised how many times I see such advice on some of the gun forums. Some value their right to be armed in the workplace more than a job.

The written word does not always convey the meaning or intent of the poster.
In this case a SAK might have been a better choice than the Sebenza.:) That is not the only reason I carry a SAK instead of a Sebenza.

Smileys do help those of us who are in the slow group.:) Again, my apologies.

Regards,
Jerry

It always makes me wonder when people ask if my knife is a switchblade: was there a switch I used to open the knife? If no, then it isn't a switchblade...
 
If I had a dollar for everytime someone at work called one of my knives a switchblade I'd have enough to buy a large tanto sebenza :)
 
Thanks, RevDevil.

A problem with "what is a switchblade" is how the law defines it. I only recently again gained some interest in knives. I had seen lock back tactical knives, but did not see any need of such for me. I wanted to buy one as a present and even bought a Kershaw OSO Sweet for myself.

But then I wondered if such a knife was legal. There doesn't seem to be universal agreement when we get to the spring assisted opening knives, although I have not checked the knife laws of very many states. One has to be concerned that some over-zealous new cop will not know the law. Some are not well versed in the laws regarding carrying of handguns.

I am not surprised that the boss might consider the Sebenza a switchblade. What would he know about it unless he had looked into it?

I am just as happy to not flash my AOK.

Jerry
