Yes, it is a work at will state. That is irrelevant of the discussion though. They can not fire for "having a firearm on the premise" if they have no supporting information to substantiate the claim. They can however, release you for no reason whatsoever at no risk.GrillKing wrote:Your job could be at risk regardless of whether your employer has made efforts to tell it's employees that firearms are not allowed.

Treaspassing as far as company policy, but not criminaly. Fired yes, arrested, no.gigag04 wrote:I believe that any sort of "NO GUN" sign affect employees.

I could be incorrect, but even if the policy says no guns, then you are trespassing.

Anyhow, I was wondering if the provisions of 46.03 apply equally to students as well as non-students. I just took the CHL class today, and my instructor was saying that GC 411.203, Rights of Employers, applies to students as well. Specifically, he said that students are not even allowed to have weapons on the grounds, eg secured in their vehicle or on a walkway. Is this correct, or can I carry on the grounds? I obviously cannot carry on the premises. I have not been notified verbally or in writing that I cannot carry on school grounds; the school building itself is posted with a non-30.06 compliant "no weapons" (ie "Ghostbusters") sign.
On a related note, I thought I had read that employers cannot ban employees from keeping a firearm in their vehicle (ie no criminal penalties can be applied; they can obviously still be terminated). However, this was directly contradicted in class. What is the word on this?
I've been lurking around here for a while and have learned a lot; thanks everybody for the education and I hope to learn much more.
There is another thread on this, but let me recap.
If an employer verbialy or in writing notifies you that no firearms are allowed on the premise using the standard 30.06 verbiage, you are criminaly treaspasing. If the employer has 30.06 signs posted at the entrance to the parking lot, then you can not carry there either.
Lastly, most people say that if your employer has made efforts to tell it's employees that firearms are not allowed, regardless of legality of the format, it's your job at risk.
