While they are trying to flex their muscle after getting pimp slapped by the law, they can still enact retarded policies so long as its a private company. Texas is an "at will" employer so if you are found to be in violation of or refuse to follow company policy you may be fired for any reason.

Its really not much different than those who work for a company who has a "no guns" policy and an unposted location. They arent risking criminal prosecution but they are risking job termination.


The next step if you so choose would be to do as others have suggested and foward this to the NRA-ILA and let them spend their time and money using your company as a punching bag.

Till then, keep your firearm in your car and play dumb.
The “at will” thing only goes so far. There have been companies learn this lesson from law suits.
:iagree: And so much so that my company goes the extra mile to make sure that when they do terminate someone they have all the documentation of whatever violation of company policy to back it up.
That’s the way it should be.

Many years ago telephone company supervisors would show up at an employee’s home to look for company property. If the employee did not allow the supervisors to look through his/her house and garage, the employee would be fired on the spot. There was no law against this but after losing a couple of big law suits, “company policy” was changed.

Can’t put my finger on it but this seems to tie in to searching employee’s vehicles somehow.

I don’t see what the big controversy in Florida is about.

Doctor: “Do you have any guns at home”? Gun owner: No I “don’t believe in guns”. Problem solved.

If all gun owners did this it would make the doctor’s question pointless.

There is no law against lying to a doctor and as an added benefit, if doctors thought some patients were doing this, it would make a few of them crazy. "rlol"

They are not allowed to ask if an employee has a disability.

“An employer may not ask or require a job applicant to take a medical examination before making a job offer. It cannot make any pre-employment inquiry about a disability or the nature or severity of a disability. In other words if a prospective employee walks with a limp, the prospective employer cannot ask if the prospective employee has a disability. They can only ask if he/she is physically able to do the job.

A company is only required to make an accommodation if the employee makes the request.
