packina45 wrote:Our company CHL policy is simple. No firearms permitted inside Company buildings, except for legally-licensed CHL holders. Concealed handguns are to remain concealed. No handling of loaded weapons unless in a defensive use. Employees of the company may only carry in Company buildings with a valid TEXAS CHL. Employees who are Texas CHL holders must notify the Company in writing prior to carrying a concealed handgun inside Company buildings, and include a copy of their current Texas CHL.

Paraphrased, best I can recall it without digging out an Employee Manual. Simple enough, and reasonable enough.

txgrifter wrote:The way my CHL instructor put it.. Employers can tell you they do not allow guns, and if they find a gun you can and most likely will be fired. BUT without the 30.06 they cannot keep non-employees from carrying. So really they are keeping their employees unarmed and anyone else that comes in armed.. pretty sh*tty if you ask me. My employer is the same, pretty much the same language.

BIG mistake. A company looks out for themselves first and then you, if at all. Just like insurance companies really care for those that pay their premiums. They want to make money and couldn't care less if someone gets better or not.

NOOOOOOO! KNOWLEDGE IS POWER. DO NOT EMPOWER YOUR EMPLOYER BY HELPING THEM TO KNOW ABOUT 30.06!!!!!! YOU NOT ONLY RUIN IT FOR YOU, YOU RUIN IT FOR NON-EMPLOYEE CHL HOLDERS.

Do not ask HR, as once they say anything like "no you cant carry" then if caught, you are trespassing and subject to arrest (and firing)

If you do not ask HR and are caught, then the most is you can get fired.

Their policy says to me "if you carry, you are breaking policy and can be fired" But their policy does not make it illegal to carry there.
