They might want me to something weird like wear a dress while working and I wouldn't want to have to shave my legs to work there. :mrgreen:

As for the vehicle, it all boils down to here you draw the line on my vs. your property. The reason i say vehicle and it doesn't leave there is that the vehicle is your way to and from work and you are being prohibited from carrying while NOT on the job. Once you arrive, then your vehicle becomes your storage locker for the weapon and it doesn't move from there.
Shave your legs ? :shock: Haven't you ever seen Klinger on M*A*S*H*? You don't have to shave your legs to wear a dress.

What about changing policy AFTER you have come to work? A company can simply say if you continue to work here you agree to the new terms, without your signature.

Say there is an incident and you or a loved one is injured or God forbid killed. Those who have chosen to revoke your right to protect yourself ARE liable. I verified this with a police officer as well as a lawyer.
However, if you do carry at your job and something happens. Even if you save yourself and others, there is a good probability you will still be let go because you broke their employment agreement. If you chose to pursue, It would be a toss up with a Jury. Tough decision. I follow the rules whenever possible.
I used to shoot with a fellow, formerly of the Houston area, that had been a night manger at a convenience store and worked alone. Several factors compelled him to carry and he ended up defending himself. He told me that he was fired almost before the cops arrived. But, as he was quick to point out, he was looking for a job when he found that one, and was still alive to apply elsewhere.
