The Employee Handbook prohibits "(a) Possessing firearms, ammunition, explosives or weapons on Company property; introducing or attempting to introduce these weapons into Company facilities." I would like to have my carry piece in my car so I am protected as I drive to and from work. Many of us (males and females) work odd shifts and it's not uncommon to be driving alone at night. I want to ask but in light of this thread, I'm really hesitant to bring it up.

Does anyone here feel like calling anonymously to ask about the policy?

I'll save you the trouble. Lockheed Martin in Fort Worth lobbied for an exception the parking lot bills for their company!

I'm going to have to learn to keep my mouth shut about HB1815! It has been referred to the Senate Criminal Justice Committee after all, and it may be heard in committee on Friday. It's still somewhat of a long-shot, but once again, I preached HB1815's funeral too soon. I can't give any details, but let's just say we have friends in very high places.

Charles, I'd love to see that banned by the Lege. IF DPS can trust me with a CHL, why can't the agency I work for? :???:
This will have to be addressed in 2009, along with all employer parking lots. SB534 passed the Senate, but it's stalled in the Calendars Committee in the House. It may come out, but I suspect it will be very late if at all. This is what happened to HB1815 (Motorist Protection Act) and it's dead.

Your agency isn't being generous to non-employee CHL's; they can't prohibit them from carrying.

It sounds to me like that have someone running a check on their TDLs. (this used to be called a CPL, but that may have changed.) That's a big "no-no." :nono:
