Employer can restrict and in the parking lot too. Different than law about school, hospital, etc where parking lot is ok.
Am I right or wrong here?

Maybe so, but I would not want to be the test case, for either side, firing or arrested.

Yes, you can be arrested, as well as fired

I disagree. The way it is stated above that it is written into the handbook does not constitute proper 30.06 notification. It has to be word for word if written in a policy manual to be illegal. They can still terminate but not have him arrested.

Now, on the other hand, if they verbally informed you either one on one, upon being hired, or as a group at a function or meeting, then it does not have to be word for word and can be grounds for arreast.

I dont not plan to carry in the office being we have been told not too, and it is not posted. But was planning on locking the Weapon up in my truck at work in a car safe that installed in my center console that is secure. But during the class we was told to check our employee handbooks and read what the employer is stating. my states..

Possession of a firearm on company property or in company vehicles. A license to carry a handgun does not authorize possession of a firearm on company property or in company vehicles.

Possession, display or use of firearms, explosives, knives, weapons or any other hazardous or dangerous devices on or in any company property (including parking lots, break rooms, company-provided lockers, and company vehicles) or at any company function, whether on or off premises.

I know that some states have had their laws changed to prevent Companies from doing this. Does anyone one know when and if the Texas law will get changed.

NO they do not search you cars here ,but you know I value my job here. So I dont want go under the dont ask , dont tell rule.

Please let me know your thoughts.

Thanks in advance
