Any employer can prohibit an employee from having or storing a firearm in the employers vehicle. Schools can prohibit employees from having firearms in the employee's locked vehicle in school parking lots. If your school employer prohibits such then that is a definite no. The fact that the vehicle is not a bus, presents a IMHO grey area but if the employer (whether or not a school district) says NO to firearms in their vehicles, then the grey area goes away and it is a definite NO. Ask your employer and get any permission in writing.jwadams19 wrote:Question. Thoughts and opinions greatly appreciated.
