Return to “"Possession of Unauthorized Firearms"”
Except... there are places of work where employees are subject to random search. Which raises the question, what would be the preferred course of action if a person, carrying in violation of their employer's rules but not illegally, was selected for such a search?stevie_d_64 wrote:Simplicity at its finest...bdickens wrote:Put it on.

I think this point about the exact form of words is important. My employer's handbook says no weapons on the premises and has a line that says even if you have a CHL. But the wording looks nothing like the text specified in 30.06. I take this to mean that, should an employee with a CHL be discovered carrying at work, he or she could be fired, but would not be breaking the law (assuming said employee had avoided ever receiving verbal notice).Keith B wrote:Actually, if the verbage in the handbook was in the form of TPC 30.06, then it oweuld be illegal. Otherwise it is just a violation of company policy and you can be fired.camlott wrote:I would say that "unauthorized" in this case means any weapon which is not specifically authorized by your employer.
To the OP's question on if it would be illegal for him to carry...
AFAIK Employee handbooks do not determine law. I suppose they could get you for trespass, but just because you disobey something in an employee handbook does not mean you broke a law. (IANAL)
