What contract?

I guess it depends on the employer, but in some cases the employee policies/handbook is essentially a contract, either because you have to sign it, or because if you violate it you are fired. IANAL, so I don't know if it merits the legal definition of "contract." Maybe someone else knows?

Where federal, state or local laws impose different or additional requirements, the Company will abide by governing law."

You know, one of the things I've always been curious to see someone press for in these situations is simply going up to Corporate Security and asking, "Can I have one of those forms that authorizes me to carry a firearm onto company property?" Is it bold? Yes. Reckless? Perhaps. But the point is to hold them to their word that there is some sort of formal process that allows one to carry to work. Read: not just the parking lot, but inside the business. Otherwise, why do they have these stupid clauses if there is no actual process for authorization? And if they refuse to allow someone to at least apply, if the balk and say that no such form exists, then they should be taken to court for breach of contract.
