Don't you love that? They basically allow non-employees to carry on the premises, but not employees - my company is the same way. Just remember they don't need 30.06 signs to prevent employees from carrying.

Many people on this forum are of the opinion that if you are properly concealed and don't talk about it, how would they know you are carrying a firearm? To each their own.
The difference is that a policy in an employee handbook is "notice" and therefore you are now committing criminal trespass if you carry concealed on the property. Without a 30.06 sign or other type of notice, a visitor is not breaking any law.

IMO, the best thing is to keep you mouth shut and keep an inconspicuous pocket gun in your car in the parking lot. Easy to slip into cargo pocket for lunch or errands and easy enough to slip back into the console before you get out of the car.
Employee handbook is not NOTICE per 30.06 for purposes of criminal prosecution unless the wording is exactly as in the statute. You can still get fired, but you wouldn't be successfully prosecuted.
That is my understanding as well. My employer does NOT use 30.06 wording, but prohibits carrying of weapons of any kind including knives, firearms etc... That being said at least a dozen guys here at work carry their pocket knives with them daily since we use them quite often.
