This policy does not change that fact, IMHO. In other words, yes they can fire you if they discover that you are carrying concealed on company property. They always could do that, regardless of whatever they do or do not say in the policy manual.

As others have noted, you may have received verbal notice under 30.06 when you had the discussion with your manager. This is probably a more pressing concern.

Personally, I don't tell people that I have a CHL, or that I carry concealed. My spouse is aware of this fact, but my other family members are not, and my friends really do not have a need for this info either. Alot of my friends know that I own guns, and I go shooting with several of them, but they don't have a need to know about my CHL. As far as I am concerned, the fewer people that know about my CHL, the better.

I mean, it seems to require a LOT of documentation and time. Maybe it's just my company that is paranoid or something, but doubt they're the only ones, right? Still wouldn't want to gamble on it, but...
