Where do you work? I thought employers weren't allowed to do anything concerning your personal vehicle if you have a LTC. I read it in the TX labor code section 52.061

True, but 52.062 lists the exemptions (secured parking lot within a designated hazard area of a chemical plant; gas/oil lease where the lease agreement has a stipulation prohibiting firearms; school employee; anywhere prohibited by state/federal law).

My guess is that Easyasmc works on Federal property, & is subject to random inspection as a condition of entering the parking lot.

Yeah thats what I was thinking or a teacher with those hours, but I guess they would have similar hours.

I always keep a Rossi .357 magnum in my glove compartment as well as extra ammo. I'm not worried about it being stolen as I live in a small town but I do keep the glove compartment locked and my vehicle locked at all times regardless of how small it is here. I use to carry a Scorpion Evo pistol under the back seat but got tired of loading it on and off the vehicle every day. I have been wanting to carry my Mossberg Shockwave but I need to see where I would store it first so I could easily access it if needed.

I keep that revolver at all times there though day or night because I paid $200 for it about 11 years ago so if it were stolen it wouldn't be as big a loss as say a Wilson Combat. Granted I would still be mad if it were stolen but the loss wouldn't be as big. For me the added security is worth it.
