Return to “Signs for the CHLer”
Thanks for the reply Rotten. I would ask that you go back and re-read my comment. I was not worried about legality of carrying -- I can legally carry in my office place since they do not provide a 30.06 notice. What my comment was in reference to was the fact that they can terminate me based upon carrying in the car because they have it as part of the policy.RottenApple wrote:First, don't ask, don't tell.If you ask, you are just setting yourself up for possible termination.
Second, read the parking lot bill. As long as your company doesn't meet one of the exceptions, they cannot legally prevent you from carrying to/from work and storing the firearm in your vehicle.
Remember, concealed means concealed.
The bolded part is the section I have issue with. Fine, I understand I can lose my job if I carry into work, but I'm not ok with them telling me that leaving my EDC in the car in transport to the office or client would constitute termination. In my opinion (which isn't worth much), that's just bull. I plan on contacting HR and asking them about this one piece of verbiage to clarify their intentions..001 Introduction
