Gunbuster signs on the gates to the parking lots (we have 3) came down yesterday! Company is doing a decent job of complying with the new law. Still can't carry inside the facility and I don't see that changing. Company had a small layoff yesterday too and we had police onsite as a precaution.

It felt good to be able to bring mine with me today.

Our company rewrote the policy and treated it like it is an annual refresher for everyone. I think the uninitiate would not really understand the wording and think it is just the same thing they signed when they went through the new hire process. But if looked at closely, they have done away with the personal vehicle search and inclusion of parking lots.

[quote="C-dub]I'm worried that they think they are somehow exempt and will still try to prohibit guns in the parking lot. I'm also concerned that even if they get one part right they will leave out those carrying under the MPA like Wfahey's company.[/quote]

What about corporate legal? At my last company and even this one, the legal dept has always been very approachable and love to get involved in anything that gets them out of reading contracts all day. Maybe just a note indicating the current policy is sideways of the new law will prompt some change? My .02 anyway. I wish you the best.

I believe even this wording is wrong. Correct me if I'm mistaken. I think the new law does not say CHL holders only it basically says anyone that is legally aloud to possess a firearm. Isn't that right?

So the wording "unlicensed possession" would be wrong.

Wording might be wrong but it used to say "not in parking lot and we can search anytime we want." Both of those are gone which is fine by me. They can jack up the rest of it and put gun buster signs on the doors as much as they want. I either had to park at Wal-Mart or the Bank and hoof it from there or leave the gun at home. Since work is not in the best part of town, it is nice to be able to park in a gated parking lot with Security patrols. Now I can have my cake and eat it too.

New company policy just came out. They changed the wording to "unlicensed possession" and changed search requirements to corporate vehicles only so I am good to go!

This law helped me a bunch. Currently you are not allowed to even have a weapon in your vehicle and they make you sign a form allowing them to search your vehicle anytime they want. I sent an e-mail to the HR Director letting her know of the changes effective Sept 1. She thanked me and said they are in the process of updating the policy and employee handbook to comply with the law. They also have the "gunbusters" signs on all the doors but I haven't said anything about that and won't.

After letting HR know about the new law I really expected Security to show up at my office and ask to search my truck.
