My office lease space resides within a REIT-owned property, in a large complex of multi-tenant buildings and parking garages. None of the buildings bear any 30.06 signage (proper or otherwise), nor do any of the parking structure entrances.

Although I don't carry at work, it was recently brought to my attention that the lease prohibits firearms on the property - anywhere, including the buildings and parking structures... so, while I don't carry in the office, I do transport (properly secured) weapons in my vehicle, for example I sometimes come from the firing range to the office, or vice versa with one or more weapons in the vehicle.

We've been occupying the space for well over a year now, and more often that not, I've caused my firm to be in technical violation of the lease agreement without even knowing it. My employer did not notify me of this constraint, nor did the owner of the property through any signage. I learned of it "by accident" when doing some analysis work and reviewing our lease...

It seems patently ridiculous that I am prohibited from parking on the premises when transporting a properly secured firearm in a locked private vehicle. It's all the more egregious when there's no publicly posted 30.06 or other no-firearms signage anywhere on the property.

Is anyone aware of legal challenge of a similar situation?
