Would you please elaborate?

I don't understand.

Thanks!
meaning if you have your gun on you, you're allowed to get out of your car for the purpose of storing it.

I accidentally made my company re-write their weapons policy

A few months ago I approached one of the executive members of our associate relations group in HR to get a clarification of the weapons policy for my company. My company is a large clothing retailer, so I needed to know if i was restricted from carrying on my off hours when I was patronizing our stores as a customer, not on company business. At the time, she clarified that I am in fact restricted at any time. Fine, I accept that, and I will just lock away my weapon when I go to the store(because employee discounts are oh-so-good.)

Today she pulled me aside and told me that my dialogue with her made her rethink the policy and have it officially re-written. Unfortunately it's still restricted, but they're now officially recognizing the fact that the state says they can't restrict people from having a firearm in their cars at their employer. Additionally, they wrote in verbage that possession of a firearm is allowed outside the vehicle as long as you're storing it and not waving it around like a maniac

it's not perfect, but it's a step forward and slightly less intrusive than an outright "NO WEAPONS ALLOWED" policy.

She also told me that they previously considered, but have decided that they will not post 30.06 signage in the stores based on my comments and suggestions. I told her that I would be happier if I was completely unrestricted, but I understood their stance and would happily respect it, even in inconvenient. Plus, my wife has her CHL so she would not be restricted at all, so at least one of us will be armed at the store.
