My employer does have signs posted outside the building indicating firearms are not welcome on the premises. The way I see it, the employment agreement is "at will" and neither of us (my employer to me and I to my employer) have any serious level of commitment to each other. Therefore, I will continue to carry firearms in my vehicle at my pleasure and convenience. There have been times when I've wanted to head to the range right after work and it doesn't make sense to me to have to drive home, then head to the range. If/when I get my PTC, and if/when I ever decide to carry, I'll carry concealed and no one will be the wiser. I don't pass through metal detectors, or am subject to any security screening process. So unless the unthinkable happens, like a shooter enters the building and into my department, or I have a medical crisis causing concealed carry secret to be exposed, I'll just have to accept any consequences.

State law prohibits employers from banning in parking lots.



Firearms ARE dangerous weapons as defined in statute.

Your definition is irrelevant.

I violate my employer's open carry policy once or twice a year. As soon as I realize what I've done, I drive straight home and grab my pistol from the lockbox and holster- up.

It's downright EMBARRASSING!

Concealed means concealed. That will be the game plan while at work from now on...

Either concealed in my truck or on my person. Only I will know...
