This is a recent e-mail sent to all associates at my company:

Subject: Reynolds Reaffirms Commitment to Safe, Secure Workplace: No Weapons

Through online feedback from associates, a number of questions and comments have been received about the company's policy that prohibits weapons at work and also about a new Ohio law that allows people to carry concealed weapons. (Ohio's law will go into effect on April 8.) NOTE: Reynolds long has had a policy company-wide that prohibits associates from possessing any kind of weapon (e.g. guns, knives, explosives or toxic substances), or brandishing an object that could reasonably be perceived as a weapon, on leased or company property, at company sponsored events, or during any business activity. This includes carrying weapons in a company-leased vehicle at anytime, whether driven for business purposes or personal use. The policy is not new and it applies to all associates, contractors, vendors, and guests at all Reynolds facilities and events. Weapons of any kind have no place at anytime at Reynolds.

I feel so much safer now.
