A lot depends on your experience, education, certifications, skills, etc. The less you have to offer an employer, the harder it can be to find a job, in good times and bad.

Everyone has to make their own choices and deal with the consequences of their choices.

We've been actively hiring where I work. We get a lot of applicants but not very many have been what we're looking for.

I didn't think you could post a parking lot with a 30.06 sign.

I haven't seen it in person but I've heard that it's done at some schools and such.

Just to chime in with my two cents worth...unless the parking lot is posted 30.06, I don't think they can have you arrested for leaving a handgun locked in your vehicle. The most likely outcome would be that you'd lose your job if they discovered the weapon, but how often does your employer search your personal vehicle? I don't know about y'all but I'm 40 years old and have been working since I was 17, and not once in 23 years has my vehicle been searched by my employer. I've never had an employer ask to search my vehicle either.

I think rules like the OP quoted are put into employee handbooks by nervous attorney types that want to cover all bases in case of an "incident". If you discreetly leave a handgun locked in your vehicle, don't tell any of your coworkers about it, then probably nothing will ever happen. If you encounter a car-jacker on the way to or from work, then you'll be glad you have it.

So let your conscience be your guide...I am no lawyer and this is just my own opinion.
