His reasoning was that since the 'Castle' had been extended to your vehicle that the employer could prohibit you from carrying into the business (employer/employee agreement) but couldnt do anything if you left it in your vehicle, concealed of course.
Employers can fire you for anything. If you park on company owned property and they state in the employee manual that you can't have firearms on company property, then it is a fireable offense. If you have been given verbal notification or the written notification is the wording from 30.06, then you can be prosecuted for it.
BTW, the Castle Doctrine is not what allows you to have it in your car, but the Motorist Protection Act

I would not want to test what your instructor said. If leaving one in your vehicle was covered either by the Castle Doctrine or the Motorist Protection Act there would be no need for the Parking Lot Bill. That's the reason everyone was hoping the Parking Lot Bill would pass.
