My boss is just about as pro 2A as you can be, but with the possibility of having to go to MD or DC any given day without notice I can't carry. Also due to the nature of my job and all the lefties we serve I don't want anyone seeing it as I bend over or crawl into small spaces. I wouldn't feel comfortable leaving it in my van either. So I go unarmed.

Sign here reads: Guns are welcome on premises Please keep all weapons holstered unless need arises. In such a case, judicious marksmanship is appreciated.

None. Immediate dismissal if caught unless locked in your trunk and/or in a locked safety box inside your vehicle, and they don't even seem to want to allow that.

As long as the employee has their GWCL, keeps it, ( mostly ) concealed, they can carry at work. The owner is very pro 2A and a well trained firearms aficionado. A number of us also have long guns readily at hand.

I have noticed that most who work in the construction industry have guns.
One of the guys driving a semi onto the land by my son's bus stop that got cleared out last week hopped out and was open carrying. I eyeballed it right. "Hey!" He turns and sees me waving and smiling. "That's a Gen 1, right (Glock 17)?" He immediately broke into a huge grin and said "Yessir, I prefer old-school!" I gave him a thumbs up and said "I like your style!"
I didn't say anything about Glock out loud, I figured "gen one" about anything he had going on with his equipment was ambiguous enough and he rolled right along with it. It was a cool "secret handshake" kinda moment, lol.

That's my office, too. HQ is in California, and I would think it would be frowned upon if known there, but since there's nothing in the employee handbook, no punitive action, I would think.
I don't work at HQ, however. In my regional office, the top guy carries concealed every day. As do I. We share gun stories and take the team to the range for team-building exercises. I share my new acquisitions with him (my P365 recently, and an LCP II later this week -- if the shipping goes well).
You can't truly call yourself "peaceful" unless you are capable of great violence. If you're not capable of great violence, you're not peaceful, you're harmless.

How do you deal with employees that want to carry a revolver?

Strictly prohibited. I had an employee whose husband was a DEA agent. The whole family had been threatened by some really bad hombres. The whole family was relocated. But before they left, lets just say that I was aware that she had a Glock in her purse. The purse was locked up at her desk, but accessible. She was licensed to carry, but just not at work. I had plausible deniability and overlooked it given the circumstances.

Strictly and unconditionally forbidden. Getting caught with one on premises, including in your private car, is cause for summary termination of employment. Yeah, we're a gun free zone. The CEO claims to have an open door policy and any number of times I've been tempted to go talk to him and try to explain the stupidity of such policies, but realistically the only thing that would do is make me a target for HR.

That seems to be a bit odd.
Why not limit them to one bullet in the front shirt pocket - Barney Fife style?
