That's a new one for me. What's the average judgement in these lawsuits?

I work in a place that has a no weapons policy and is stated in the handbook. now on days i drive this is no problem for i can leave my weapon in the car, but my wife and i only have one car we share and every other week i have to rely on city transportation to get home from work.
My question is this, If policy is i cannot have a weapon at work is this in violation of my right to protect myself to and from work? i know that there is some law about this.
With a few exceptions, they are not allowed to prohibit employees from having a gun in personally owned vehicles in parking they provide for employees.

However, they can prohibit guns in buildings and on grounds that are not parking areas. They can do that by policy and fire the offenders. They can do that by giving 30.06 notice and having the offenders arrested. That is their right as property owners. In neither case are they violating anybody's rights.
