I'm not much of a gun person. I have a glock that was given to me as a Christmas present and I do have a concealed carry permit. I think a lot of us are familiar with the idea of turning the interview around on the interviewee and asking them the questions, so that we are in turn, qualifying them. It helps show we have value and it gives us some control over the interview.



I'd like to walk into an interview and feel that I'm in control right off the bat. When I sit down, my unbuttoned sports jacket will reveal that I am carrying a gun. I won't make any mention of it and I will just act like this goes along with my normal attire. Maybe it's all in my head, but I feel like it would level the playing field a little bit. And maybe it just gives me that little boost of confidence that gets me the job.



Do you all feel that carrying a gun to a job interview is okay or totally inappropriate? What if I asked the front desk to hold my gun for me or if I used a little reverse psychology and asked the interviewer to hold my gun for me (with the excuse that its uncomfortable to sit with). I would even make a little joke about how they are the person in charge so they get the gun. Feedback? Thoughts? I'm applying for a computer help desk position if that's relevant.
