It could be, but I think Conoco won the first round and it's been elevated. I do not recall for sure though.jbirds1210 wrote:I was under the impression that that case is still not reached its conclusion......I might be wrong.

Oklahoma passed a law saying that companies could not ban employees (CHL holders) from keeping guns in their cars. ConocoPhillips successfully challenged the law in court.couzin wrote: Ditto - BTW - wasn't there some big hooptee in Ok some time back over employees having weapons in their vehicles? What happened there?

That’s a tough one... I think (I believe) that they can fire you, but can't do anything else in a "legal" way as far as having you arrested. Unless they ask you to leave and you do not leave.
I personally, would not seek out any information on company A's policies. Rest assured, they have the same policy.
I run into this a lot as I drive in and out of chemical plants. If I am going (meaning driving) into a plant, I just don't carry that day. If I know I will only be parking in the parking lot, I do carry and leave it in the car. In your case, at night, parking in the lot on a call out, chances are pretty slim that your car will be searched.
It is a different situation for me though, because I am not an employee of said company(s). I am continuously amazed that many of the chemical plants and refineries post a ghost busters sign, but not a proper 30.06 sign. However, I make my living doing business within the fence lines of these places, so I can't afford to be banned if caught. Many of chemical plants do search your vehicle going in or out and sometimes both. There are other reason for not carrying within the fence line such as potential for explosive atmosphere and the like.
Ok I got way off track from your situation (it’s a subject I struggle with a lot)... but I do feel your pain.
