It isnever recommended to carry at work if it is a crime to do so.For anyone who will be carrying while wearing business attire,there is a need to take into consideration body size, whether moretime will be spent seated or standing at work, whether or not a suitcoat or sport coat ever comes off at work, and how quickly canthe gun be drawn from the holster and carry position of choice.Obviously having a gun deeply concealed is better than not havinga gun.
