Your employer is free to fire you for possessing a handgun in a vehicle on their property, and if it is a vehicle they own (or are renting for you, I presume) they will still be free to fire you for possessing a firearm in that vehicle after the parking lot bill passes.

Or by "company car" do you mean it belongs to the dealership? Since you don't work for them they can't fire you; I guess they could ask for the car back.

Your CHL is valid everywhere in the state except for the specific exceptions spelled out in the law. "Rental car" is not one of those exceptions.

The Motorist Protection Act covers "a motor vehicle that is owned by the person or under the person's control," which would include a rental vehicle.

It doesn't make it illegal. You just don't have the same protection from being fired for keeping a firearm in your employer's vehicle as you do for keeping a firearm in your own vehicle on your employer's property.
