I have a hard time understanding why somebody would ask that question to management in the first place, I am from the old school where I would never ask a question that I would not want to hear the answer. Why tip my hand when it can never have a positive impact on my position within the company. What somebody does not know cannot hurt me, what they do know very well could have a negative impact. They will now always assume that you have a firearm in your car and management does talk between themselves. Personally I prefer that my name stays out of such conversations.

In hind-sight maybe asking my employer if they're going to recognize my constitutional right is a mistake. I don't feel it was though. They may be suspicious of me possessing a firearm, but they know I'm aware of my rights, they know I stand my ground and they know I won't trust em in this matter.

Re: Question about "Parking Lot Bill"

I work for a very large Arizona based company. Large as in 51,000 employees in 42 states. When I asked the management if they would be changing the employee hand-book where it states no firearms allowed in personal vehicles, the official answer was no. Their explanation was the company parking lot is private property so the parking lot bill doesn't apply to our company. When pressed on this issue the un-official "read between the lines" answer was we don't have to put we fired someone for having a firearm in their vehicle on their termination papers!
