I guess I don't have to point out the absurdity of "no guns in the car in company parking lot". Simply park on the street or somewhere else that is NOT company property. Besides, that, walking an extra 50 yards to get a gun to do havoc on company property is not that big a deal for someone that is angry/insane enough to want to do it in the first place.

Lastly, I successfully contested the "random search without a warrant" policy at a company I worked at. The lot was shared by other business, but more importantly, did not have controlled access. I had a reasonable expectation of privacy because the car was locked and I was the only person with the keys. They couldn't make me allow them to search my car - for any reason. They struck that policy (random search) from the employee manual. As a defense contractor, I often worked on a local base, which DOES have controlled access, and a sign posted at the gate stated that random security searches were conducted. Translation - I had no reasonable expectation of privacy, and therefore followed the no-guns in the car policy.

Further, being a programmer, there are many times that I work at home. They had a stated policy that firearms were not allowed when you were conducting company business (which technically I was doing when working from home). Well, when I'm working at home, where do they think my guns are? They had to at least modify that clause.

Texas gun laws are generally contradictory and absurd, and appear to be intentionally worded to confuse and befuddle the public.
