I will let y'all know what happens. Our company policy is that you may have a firearm with permission from Executive Management. I'm not risking my job to carry, I will go through the proper procedure. The EM is very gun friendly. They both have them, probably carry, and we talk about them from time to time. I'm not worried about persecution there. I answer directly to EM so no one else will even know that I'm asking. My main concern when i ask EM was to address the legalities of the sign on the building where we lease corporate office space. After my CHL class yesterday, I feel comfortable enough to let Executive Management know that it's not considered the correct legal sign. There will be no need to even discuss anything with coworkers, or the building management.

Good luck to you and enjoy your class! Oh, and welcome to the forum!

Thanks for the tips and the welcome. I took a picture of the sign so I can ask tomorrow. I'm very excited about the class. I've spent a considerable amount of time researching all of this. I'm glad it's class time!

Never tell a private organization that its sign is not enforceable. That may lead it to post an enforceable sign.[/quote]

Thank you. No worries, I'm not planning on saying anything to the company that we lease the space from. However according to company policy we can carry if we get Executive Management approval. No need to involve the leasing company-their sign isn't up to the 30.06 legal standard.

Thanks. The company after I work leases our corporate offices in that building. We don't own it. I was thinking about pointing out to my boss only that the sign isn't considered legal notice. I would then ask for his written consent to carry -according to our Firearm Policy. I'm HR, I know all about that policy. I don't know if it is going to fly with him or not. Too many bad things can happen. I would feel safer.

Hi, I'm new to the forum and to firearm ownership. I bought a Smith & Wesson 9mm Sigma but that won't me my EDC. I've been lurking for a few weeks though. Kudos for an awesome site. I haven't gotten my CHL yet. I'm taking the class tomorrow. I did the online application today and paid for it. Anyway this sign is posted where I work. It has the gun buster sign and says: Firearms are prohibited in this building. LAW (V.C.S ART 4413 29ee) I'm assuming that it's not considered legal notice. My company has a no firearms policy unless you have proper consent. I plan to ask for that as soon as I get my license. Of course if the sign is legal i won't ask. So what say ye? Legal notice or not? Thanks!
