The way I read it, you could be terminated for carrying at the place of business or in a vehicle (company or private) while on company business.

The "parking lot law" would protect you legally if you stored your weapon in your personal vehicle while at work.

The really sticky part would be the following Scenario. You commute to work while carrying (you're safe under law and policy), you arrive at work and store your weapon in your locked personal vehicle (assuming you don't work for a place where the parking lot law is not applicable, you're still safe under law and policy (although your employer may not believe this)), after a while you need to leave work and visit a client location...

Scenario 1 - if you must use your personal vehicle for the visit, you would be in violation of policy (traveling on company business) but still safe under the law. (i.e. you could be terminated but not arrested).

Scenario 2 - if you used a company vehicle or rental (pool) car for your client visit while your weapon remained locked in your vehicle, you would still be safe under the law and policy (again your employer may not believe this).

I and several of my co-workers have used scenario 2 before when visiting oil refineries and chemical plants during the course of our day. It aggravated some supervisors ("Why do you need a rental car? Just take your own car out to the plant.") but I just told them I didn't want my vehicle sitting out there in all that goo all day.

Just wanted to throw this out there.
