    I would be fired because I don't agree with that cr@p.
    it's your desktop, it makes YOU happy, when you are happy you work better.

    find some VERY patriotic picture with guns and if you get a complaint tell them that the soldiers on the front line need our support, not whiners.

    Thieves are the lowest form of life out there, except for liberal politicians, of course, but that's redundant.

      The left gets incredible mileage out of being "offended," when they simply see things they dislike.

      I'm offended by those asinine coexist bumper stickers. Maybe I should start peeling the stupid things off.

              OP, id make an anonymous tip to HR that someone made a complaint about your pic of wife and child because they believe women should not be allowed to handle guns because they are not equal to men. that would stir s*** up real quick and in a hurry. HR at my job is very pro women ( not that there's anything wrong with being pro women ).....

                I have had to work in liberal environments. Just find a non firearms photo of wife and kid and use it as your desktop. To cover your back, send it to your boss to let him know you changed it and to let you know if there is anything objectionable with the new photo. Gotta choose and pick your battles and in my opinion this isn't one to choose. HR depts don't like guns, weapons, scantily clad women, hunting, etc.

I am kinda bummed. What are your thoughts out there?
                  Do you happen to work in the high tech industry and is a computer engineer? If so, how about consider working for with my team?

                  I hired a fellow Calguns.net forum member recently, our monthly engineering meeting involves lots of computers, software, company products, guns and ammo. And yes, our technical discussions involves a trip to the range too.

                  But if not, yeah, take it down. Don't make waves in the workplace, it is not worth it. The idea of putting up a bigger weapon like a Stealth Bomber is a good one though.

                          From the looks of your Avatar picture, you'll fit right in.

                          BTW I have one more engineer position to fill, PM me if you're interested.

                            Considering the computer is (more than likely) company property, I wouldnt have even put pic like that up as a background. For me, its just not worth it.

                            My opinion may be skewed a bit since I work for a company that has a very transparent "No Firearms" policy. Whether its right or wrong can be debated, but they have made it very clear. I respect the policy choice and still choose to work where I do.

                            My fight is out here, not in there.

                              Print the picture put it in a frame on your desk. If someone complains, complain about that someone going through you desk and personal items when you are away from your desk. Sit back and watch what happens then.

                                Monica never looked that good....
                                Actually I only started collecting Milsurps 3 years ago. I think I might own about 24...They're cheaper than guns that will most likely never get the opportunity to kill somebody...

                                I belong to the group that uses firearms, and knows which bathroom to use.

                                Tis better to have Trolled & lost, Than to never have Trolled, at all.
