Only if the lease has terms prohibiting firearms. Many probably do but for a hypothetical:

Ted Nugent owns some property that he leases to your employer for natgas production. Ted loves guns, so his lease doesn't have a provision prohibiting firearms. Your employer may not prohibit you from carrying in your vehicle at that lease. :mrgreen:

Re: Commerical Vehicle Carry

IANAL but here's an example to demonstrate how I read the oil/natgas/mineral lease clause:

Dan Yanki owns some property. He leases the property to your employer for natgas production. Dan is scared of guns, so he puts a condition in the lease prohibiting firearms. Your employer may then prohibit you from carrying on Dan's property, so you (as their agent) don't breach the contract.

If you do bring a firearm on the lease, your employer may fire you. Depending on the type of firearm and the notice given, it may or may not be illegal. I'm not sure about your potential civil liability for the breach of contract.
