Chas.

I see it a little different.
As it is now, the company can put up a sign and say "don't bring your weapon to work", and that is the companies decision.
If anything happens to you going to and from work, and you don't have your weapon to protect you because of a company policy, then I think you would have every right to sue the company.
If this law passes, the State of Texas is telling you "don't bring your weapon to work", and now the State is protecting the employer.
I see this potential law as it is written now, worse for most CHL's then not having one at all.
The reason I say this, out of the 20 or more people that I personally know, who have CHL's, only the ones in Chemical or Refining companies are being restricted at this time.

Looks like Big Oil got to the Legislators.
What happened to the people being represented instead of special intrest groups/companies?
I work in Houston (for a chemical company) where a large majority of the CHL's that were prohibited from having their handgun on employers property, will still be prohibited.
Whats worse, now the law is on the employers side.
Its time for a change.
