Okay. I'm with you now, but would a company really ban someone from the site for violating a policy they may not have know about or were even required to follow? I realize we are talking about the hypothetical here, but wouldn't it seem more likely that they would inform the person and contracting company by giving oral notice that if caught again they would be banned and then post 30.06 signs everywhere?canvasbck wrote:Prior to SB 321 private property owners could prohibit anyone from entering their property either through verbal notice or written notice consistant with 30.06. The new law only stops the property owner from prohibinting thier employees from bringing firearms onto the property. The law did not change in regard to non-employees.
Having a company policy against firearms posession by non CHL holders (in the case of refineries and chemical plants) and non employees does not carry the trespass penalties since it was not proper 30.06 compliant, it does however give the company the ability to bar an individual from coming back on site. The company is not firing the individual (they can't since they don't work for the client company) but just not allowing them on the property.
Also, what lowonair says is correct, the client company can bar a contractor from the site for any reason.
Sorry for a long answer to a short question.

Re: Parking lot law clarification please.
You lost me here. How a can a company prohibit me from carrying on their property according to company policy if I'm not an employee of theirs? This makes no sense at all. Now, they can post a 30.06 sign and that would apply to non-employees.canvasbck wrote:However, Shell can prohibit, by company policy, anyone who is not a Shell employee from entering the property with a firearm. So if a Mundy employee enters Shell property with a firearm, Mundy can not fire that employee for posessing the firearm but Shell can inform Mundy that the employee is no longer allowed back on site.
My employer, not a chemical plant, for another three days, prohibits employees from having our weapons in our private vehicles on company property, but they do nothing to prohibit non-employees.
