Yep, I think you are correct.

The Employee Handbook prohibits "(a) Possessing firearms, ammunition, explosives or weapons on Company property; introducing or attempting to introduce these weapons into Company facilities." I would like to have my carry piece in my car so I am protected as I drive to and from work. Many of us (males and females) work odd shifts and it's not uncommon to be driving alone at night. I want to ask but in light of this thread, I'm really hesitant to bring it up.

Does anyone here feel like calling anonymously to ask about the policy?

I'll save you the trouble. Lockheed Martin in Fort Worth lobbied for an exception the parking lot bills for their company!

Chas.

I don't think they will need an exception. I believe the company is on federal property.

Gotta love living in a free country.......oh wait, what freedom? :evil:

We should have laws against that type of crud! It should be grounds for one heck of a lawsuit.

I picked up there when I worked for FedEx. The people I remember wouldn't make me bat an eye if I knew they had a CHL.

I agree with you Jim. It can be dangerous for a company to know. It makes about as much sense to me as demanding to know what color my mother's hair is! If a CHL, or proof of training with a handgun isn't required for the job, it is none of their business.

They have a no weapons policy but wanted a photocopy of your CHL?

If they have a no weapons policy, then why would they care about your CHL?

I would think it would be the other way around. You have a CHL and you want to carry, so they ask for a copy for their records and let you carry.

They have no reason to see your CHL.
That makes sense to me.

Maybe I'm just stupid, but, unless a CHL is required for the job, why would they even be interested or think that it is any of their business?
