Can you legally carry pepper spray w/o your employer knowing?
I work in security. I have noticed a rise in incidents/crime where i work and worry about my safety. These are tough economic times. Can my employer actually deny me the right to carry pepper spray when the law says it’s legal to carry for self defense??? They worry about liability/getting sued and don’t worry for their own workers safety, what a shame!

No way, you totally can. If he asks I don’t think you can lie about it, but what he doesn’t know won’t hurt him!
You can carry it legally, yes, if it’s not against the law in your state. However if an incident occurs and you actually make use of the pepper spray, you will in all likelihood receive disciplinary action from your employer – even a possible firing – for deliberately going against company policy. Also, since you knowingly violated company guidelines, you – not your employer – would be held liable for any monetary damages if the person who you pepper sprayed filed a civil suit.
It’s quite a dilemma…I sympathize with you. I’m not sure what I’d do under those circumstances myself. Good luck with everything…
