Work policy confusing

[RottenApple]

What's confusing? You are not allowed to posses or use weapons on company premises unless you are permitted to by state or local law. With a CHL, the state permits you to carry a concealed handgun everywhere you go with certain statutorily defined exceptions.

I think the majority of the confusion comes from the phrase "expressly permitted". Depending on the company, I may or may not carry there based on that policy. However, I would certainly carry to the office and then secure my firearm in my vehicle as the parking lot law "expressly permit[s]" that (barring one of the various exceptions, of course).
