Default My Politcally Incorrect Work Area

I'm fortunate in that I can share my politically incorrect views at work.
Some of my "posters" are more offensive than others, but I try to keep it "clean" enough that I won't be asked to remove ALL of them.

Here's the view of the back of my monitor as you walk by.
(the rest of my work area is a MESS, so no other pics available!)


I also have brochures that I pick up at gun shows on Gun Safety, PA Firearms Laws, Honoring the US Flag, etc placed where people may take/read them.
Sometimes I'll have accessories lying around and people stop to ask questions. There's a stripper clip of spent 7.62x39 cases, a polymer .223 empty and a few 100 yd, shot-up targets from my CMP shoot lying in view right now.

So far, no one has gone crying to management about any of it and most of those who are somewhat bothered (you can tell) by it, don't say anything because they need ME to help them bring in new accounts so they just pretend to ignore it all!

I'm happy to say that by sharing my passion with others, I've introduced one co-worker to the world of shooting and found out that there are a few other gun owners here as well. (even went shooting with a few)

Just thought I'd share this so the guys who wanted copies of my "no guns" sign could see that I really DO have it hanging up at work.

Any others out there who "scare" their co-workers with their "evil gun stuff"?

Yeah, but it's not because I hang signs unfortunately.


Nice cube man, it actually has some style. I like it!

Well you don't have to worry about any workplace shootings. People probably figure you have a couple grenades in your desk.

I've had a PAFOA sticker proudly displayed on my hutch here at work since I got them.

I have a hand grenade on the desk, pictures of my armored reconnaisance car, and badges from the NRA convention and Knob Creek hanging up. It's a small company, and they all pretty much know i'm "that guy."

the grenade is inert, but our mechanical engineer won't pull the pin on it. "go ahead, pull it, see what happens."

Ha!

I can't get anyone to "pull my finger" either!

Well, to be fair, we know that's not inert.

I don't think I could hang those types of posters at work, but I do have a Mule Deer shed on the mantlepiece (my office used to have a gas fireplace) as well as plaques I've won at local USPSA matches and the Nationals.

Everyone at work knows I shoot, and none of them have a problem with it.

I'm under DoD security rules where I work, so I cant take a pic of the cubicle, but fairly similar stuff.

miniature plastic 1919 with belt and ammocan on the desk, 5" naval shell casing as a pen holder, pics, gun magazines like SAR and such, catalogs...

I even have a "Honk if you've never seen an Uzi fired from a car window" bumpersticker hanging up

I'm known also as "That gun guy" but never really had anyone but the boss make any comments...he made a reference one time in a meeting about "he might shoot the place up" but i had a talk with him about it, and and explained that legally there, he did a actionable thing...and he never said another word.

I've managed to convert 2 women, and another guy there into gun owners.
