If they will allow it then you are set.

Most plant "security" I've encountered is not trusted to carry a firearm. I doubt very seriously the company would be willing to accept the "liability" of holding a venders firearm.

IF it's illegal to have a gun in a locked container in your own vehicle...

That's a lot of IF for something people state as fact. Just saying.

Would that case be subject to search?

I know this is not in Texas Penal Code as it is governed by DHS. If anyone should happen to know where I can find this info, it would be greatly appreciated.

Now, to think out of the box a little, or maybe it's just wishful thinking. Two things, aren't places like this supposed to have a separate parking lot where folks that carry can park with their guns in their vehicles? Or what do you think would be the probability of having his boss request that the locations he goes to somehow be able to hold his gun for him while he's inside and then return it to him when he leaves?
