Just glanced at the specifications, general conditions and supplementary conditions earlier and it is very clear that we are independent and not considered as employees.

"The contractor shall at all times be an independent contractor, not an employee or agent of the owner, and the relationship of the parties here under shall in no event be construed as constituting any other relationship."

"Firearms shall not be brought onto the owner's property at any time. Anyone found to be in possession of a firearm(s) will be immediately referred to the local authorities and will be permanently expelled from the project."

Some projects are on active campuses. Some are not. I don't think the school districts should be able to remove my rights via a contract...

If this language was not allowed to be in the contract, some employers might feel differently about hindering their employees from even carrying a secured weapon in their vehicles much less as allowed by law concerning CHL.

I work for a general contractor and unfortunately the school contract we are required to sign states that the contractor's employees are not allowed to bring firearms on school property.

Unless we park on private property and walk to the jobsites, this effectively keeps us from even being able to just carry in the car. Schools shouldn't be allowed to have these stipulations.

If for some reason (K9 in parking lot) it's determined I legally have a firearm in my vehicle, we can be blamed for breaching a contract. Most likely the district will throw a fit and end up forcing the contractor to remove that person from the project.
