A:
Carrying a concealed pistol on private property without a license depends on the laws of your state. In some states, property owners or managers may carry firearms on their property without a permit, but this is not universal. You need to research your state's specific gun laws to determine if this is legal where you are.
Even if your boss has instructed you to carry, their request doesn't override local or state regulations. Being asked to do something doesn't make it automatically legal or safe. It's essential to make sure you're complying with any legal requirements before carrying a concealed weapon.
To avoid legal trouble, check if your state requires a permit for concealed carry, even on private property. If you're unsure, consulting local authorities or looking up your state's firearm regulations can give you the right guidance. Safety and legality should always come first in these situations.
