I didn't realze it would involve giving notice to them. I have an exemplary record, so if I gave them this notice and they fired me, it would be pretty apparant why I was fired. I have considered leaving them, but it would cause a few problems. I would have to settle for lower pay, lose vaction time etc. I'll see how it works out. Does the law state that written notice has to be given prior? It seems that after I was caught I could give them this written notice and still comply, what do you think?
mrvmax,

I think part (e) of the bill addresses your point:

(e) This section does not prohibit an employer from
discharging, disciplining, or penalizing an employee who stores a
handgun in the employee's motor vehicle in a parking area of the
employer without having satisfied the requirements of Subsection
(a).

Because of perceived fallout at work, the disclosure requirements will effectively prevent me from being able to store my handgun in my locked vehicle at work.

There must be some expectation that this information will benefit at least one of the parties involved but I just don't see what real value the notification adds. What is expected of the immediate supervisor? Seems to me the disclosure requirement only serves as a built in deterent for the employee.
