I work for a certain Defense Contractor located just West of Sealy. Along with firearms, other items prohibited on company property include cameras. There is a big sign outside the guard shack saying to the effect of " no firearms (including CHL) and cameras beyond this point. Personal items being removed from your car are subject to inspection." They do have a parking area that is accessible prior to the guard shack. Upon being hired, I was briefed that you can leave your camera phone in your car in that lot. No guns though.Charles L.

Plants commonly have a general parking area for most people including employees, and an inner fenced area protecting the plant. Some people, typically supervisory personnel, can park inside the inner fence. It is this inner fenced area close to the working units that companies would most likely make off-limits.
Chas.
If and when the parking lot bill passes, I imagine that is the lot in which you will be allowed to leave your handgun in your car.
BTW: I have a real interest in getting this law passed. As it stands, my employer's idiotic policy violates my 2d Amendment rights by forcing me to be disarmed from the time I leave the house until I get back home at night unless I want to risk losing a well-paying job with good benefits. I like being able to feed myself.
