IANAL - It is my understanding that companies are free to establish any kind of policy they wish and whether an employee can carry on their premises, open or concealed, is per their policy, not by what is legal or not in regard to OC/CC in Texas. However, with certain exceptions they cannot prevent you from having a weapon in your private vehicle in the parking lot. I do believe their policy can extend to company owned vehicles and equipment as opposed to private vehicles.

I can understand them wanting to extend their prohibition to any work related activity at a "customer, supplier or vendor" as they may feel that it could negatively affect the business relationship depending on the position with regard to 2A rights that each may have. However, I think that the posting or not posting of 30.06/30.07 signs by the "customer, supplier or vendor" would be the overriding factor.

On the other hand, even if OC/CC is totally acceptable to the "customer, supplier or vendor" I guess they can fire the employee should they find out one violated company policy at a "customer, supplier or vendor" site whether the employer has the legal right or not to extend that policy to work related activities off-site. I also don't know what the employer's liability might be in the event of any kind of firearms related incident involving an employee involved in work-related activity. Would someone have a case for wrongful termination? I have no idea.

I would not inform HR of the fact that I have a LTC; that is my business.
