I was wondering what the outcome of this was. Did he take the new job or stay at the old one. Please post an update.

Ok so you the written notice must be in the form of 30.06. This will prevent you from being charged with carrying a concealed firearm but will not prevent your employer from firing you because you failed to follow company policy.

Unless the legislatures step in and allow us to leave our weapons locked in our cars or carry at work, your employer can impose certain restrictions as a condition of your employment. Most employers have you agree to follow company policy, and if you don't, you could be subjected to termination. Employers have little ways to get you to agree to follow company policy, much like an officer has ways to get you to consent to a search of your vehicle.

Bottom line, if it is company policy then they can and will fire you for it. Most companies have a zero tolerance for weapons violations.

Sorry to hear that Jim. I have been there and done that and I agree with you on your statement. Good luck Job hunting.

Good luck in convincing him to let you carry. Insurance may be another reason it is in the employee handbook. I can see your point since you are traveling around the metroplex in a company vehicle.

Again good luck and I sincerly hope that he allows you to carry.

If I based my employment on carrying a firearm I would have been un-employed or significantly making less money the last 12 years. Although I definetly think I should be able to carry, I will not put that above being able to support my family.

We all have priorities in life, and carrying at work to me is a plus but not a necessity. If carrying at work is worth 8500 a year to you, well then maybe you should stay where you are. For me, I can think of a few more things I could use the money for to help the family.
