They are SSI, so you are not allowed to read it, but you are required to follow the procedures outlined in the FSP or face arrest for a breach of security. Some of it was discussed in this thread;http://texaschlforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=35594

This, to me, is the Stupidest part.

"There's the rules you HAVE TO FOLLOW, or FACE ARREST.... but you can't read them."

...

I'd love to see someone try to make that hold up in court.

If you read the post, the email says the FSP is protected, not the email. The FSP is what has the verbiage about weapons not being allowed.
He didn't post the FSP. He's fine.

Ya know.. I wonder if the recent supreme court ruling has any bearing on that last statement, as they defined Self Defense as a lawful purpose to own a handgun...

Just a thought.

I don't like it.

Especially since they say "It says in our FSP that they're not allowed... oh, but you're not allowed to see the FSP."
So there's some law or some rules, somewhere... but you can't see it or see what authority it has, or any punnishment.
That doesn't fly with me bub.
This stinks to me, and If It involved me on a daily basis, I'd get a lawyer involved.

However, he DID give you an alternative.

All weapons must be declared and properly secured in lock boxes within our Command/Control Center.

Get the procedure to declare and check weapons, and then have every driver do so every time they go to the facility. Make it an annoyance to them.

But, like I said, if it were me, I'd get a lawyer involved to figure out what's horse-hockey, and what's not.
