True, if they are stupid enough to fire you over exercising a right. They would fire you over something stupid or just not give you a reason at all.Keith B wrote:And any company that was found to have fired an employee for having a firearm legally in their vehicle on the parking lot would be ripe for a good lawsuit on unjustified termination.

Re: Private company, ie non-govt, and no gun policy
You are right they cannot fire you if you have a CHL and keep a gun in your vehicle. They can fire you for no reason at all too, you could not like mexican food and they could fire you for it. Im just saying in Texas a employer does NOT need a reason to fire someone.txglock21 wrote:I maybe wrong but they cannot fire you for keeping in your vehicle unless they fall under one of the exempt places. My employer HAD to re-write the directives when this became law. We still can't carry in building, company owned vehicles, etc.. but we CAN keep in our privately owned secured vehicles on their parking lot. Unless they do vehicle searches, how are they going to know anyway?
I would not let a employer search my truck anyway, they are not LEOs and do not have a warrant.

Re: Private company, ie non-govt, and no gun policy
Remember also, Texas is a "at will" state. A company can fire you for any reason or no reason at all. If you are going to carry a firearm in your car then make sure it is out of sight and do not say a word about it.
