Not at all. The parking lot law passed in 2011 even prevents most employers from having any policy preventing employees from keeping their legally possessed firearms in their vehicles in the company parking lot under most circumstances. Since you don't work at a school or an oil refinery, you should be fine.

Re: 30.06 in clinics

Renego73 wrote:I don't know if this is discussed anywhere on this site but I need input. I am currently a clinical manager at a large clinical facility that has a 30.06 sign. In this facility, there is a busy urgent care facility (almost like an ER) that services patients that at times can become pretty ticked off, shouting obscenities sometimes threatening. The problem is that there isn't any security in the building just "stat" alarms when we need assistance. When tripped, it takes security almost 10 minutes to arrive. If someone really had a vendetta against a clinic, I am sure they would come after management and with that kind of delay, we would be taken out in less of that time it takes them to respond. I have been a CHL holder for quite a while and know the laws and regulations about the 30.06 in buildings. But I find it tempting to want to protect myself if the imaginable happens. What would you all do in this situation? I am new to this site but have noticed that you all are a wealth of information. Thanks
I would find another method of protection and become more proficient at hand to hand and disarmament techniques if I wanted to keep that job. Otherwise, I would look for employment elsewhere. Unfortunately, employers are normally reactionary to events and will only provide increased security after something bad has already happened. Very few, if any, are proactive to prevent something bad from happening in the first place.
