What happens if they don't? I really don't expect my employer to update their manual. Their overall policy hasn't changed (no guns) and the only thing that would change would be their option to search vehicles. They could still do that for items other than guns.

Bah, ours made the "no guns on parking lot" policy public.

I've informed my gun-friendly coworkers though, it has no meaning after 9/1.

Before the law passed, the corporate policy for all plants was no guns at work on the premises (I'm sure we all know what that means to us Texans). After the law passed, corporate lawyers wrote out a new policy that included parking lots AND searches of vehicles on the parking lot. It also encouraged employees to narc on other employees if they know of or see a gun in the car. Then, at the end of the policy in tiny letters, to the effect of: "this policy is ineffective where these items are prohibited by law." So far, "they" have only verbally told people of the new policy, but if it every goes up on the bulletin boards, I have a copy of the law to staple next to it.

Corporate policy has never affected my decision to carry a gun in my car, because I park on a public street...right next to the building. When the law goes in effect, I may park in the parking lot just because.
