Anyhow, turned out to be glad for my armed status. As I was leaving, someone down the hall around the corner was yelling and apparently throwing things, from the sound of it. That caused the employee I'd been talking with to grab his phone and start dialing. My reaction was to observe, orient, etc. with most focus being on getting out the door.
Long story short it was some kind of domestic-dispute-comes-to-the-workplace thing. The irate husband (?) blew his stack, indeed tossed a few items at his...wife, I guess, then left via a different exit. More than that I do not know. But honestly, how many different ways might that have played out? Including some ways that I don't like to ponder being in the vicinity of.
Carry whenever you can. Try not to go places where you can't. Etcetera.

Terra Nullius: I don't know who told you this, but you cannot conceal carry in government buildings in Kentucky. You can only open carry in Government buildings in Kentucky. It's just like Ohio. You can open carry in government buildings. But remember, only in the public areas of the building.
Hhmmm. IANAL, but KY Statute 527.115(2) would seem to indicate otherwise. I could be wrong.

And knowing Terra's history, I almost guaran-freaking-tee he will post something showing I am. Whether it does or not. (I wonder if he'll be a paralegal today, or an engineer?)

I'm still scratching my head over his assertion that there is no force of law behind me telling someone to leave my unposted business for carrying a gun because normal Ohio trespass law doesn't apply in that case...
