They could say that. But I'm guessing they don't even know that it is illegal to fire someone for a violation of their "no guns in the parking lot" policy. So you may well be able to get an open admission of the reason for the firing in writing (e-mail, or even better, a written "warning"). But even if you can't get that, you would have their policy, in writing, that probably says something like "violation of this policy will lead to discipline up to and including termination." You may also have a record of glowing performance evaluations, with no prior mention of a problem with your "laughter" or anything else.

Basically, you would have to prove this case just like you prove any other wrongful termination case. The difference is that most employers know they are not supposed to fire someone just because they are black, or a woman, and as a result written admissions of the real termination reason would be more rare. And even with that, people win wrongful termination cases all the time.

My " friend" does not have a LTC.
