seems to be different things getting mixed together here....
Nobody say "I need a gun at work, because my job be that dangerous"
(or did I miss that?)
Some want to carry, for the unexpected.
Some feel a need to carry, because they expect risk.
Risk going home after work (late night, bad neighborhood, etc.)
Boss say no gun on premises. Don't feel good leaving it in the car (plus risk between work and car).
Solution set:
no gun (boss happy you at risk)
gun left in car (boss not know, him happy, you still at risk, plus risk of gun being stolen. Not good)
You carry (boss not know, him happy. Boss know, you fired)
You find other work (boss not care much, if any, you better off, hopefully)
I think the integrity issue is not about disobeying an immoral (in your view) order, but about whether or not you lie about disobeying it. And I think that also includes lying to yourself.
There are situations where lying is necessary for safety and survival. I don't find it unethical to do so, if you are in one of these situations, provided you don't lie to yourself about what you are doing, and why.
