That handbook wording isn't a 30.06 notice, because it is a "written communication" that doesn't have the specific 30.06 wording. The oral notice from your boss is valid under 30.06, because there is no required wording for oral notice; if you're told, orally, "You can't bring a gun to work", that's a valid notice for PC 30.06.MojoTexas wrote:It was both.

Now, it seems, it was verbal. But I would still say that comes from some written policy somewhere within the company.
Here's the wording from the company handbook:
Initech prohibits possession of weapons on all Company property, including workplace buildings, retail stores, and parking lots (unless permissible under state law). Any act or threat of violence must be reported immediately to a Manager, HR and/or Security.

Re: Carrying at work
Whether it's oral notice or proper signage, it's still 30.06 notice. There can be no valid 30.06 notice in a government building, other than meetings of government entities, so it wouldn't apply in your scenario.kidder014 wrote:Let me throw a curveball into the OP situation.
As I understand from this thread, verbal notification basically is the same as posting 30.06.
How about this situation:
You work for an entity at a building specifically exempt from 30.06 (such as a building owned or leased by a local government) whereas no public meetings or other situations exist that would prevent a CHL citizen from carrying in the building. However, because you are an employee, you've received verbal notice and it is in the employee handbook that you may not have handguns on the premise.
Now what is the "legal" ramifications? As a CHL holder, in my scenerio, 30.06 can not apply, however, as an employee, you've been given effective notice not to carry. Thoughts?
The ramifications would be the same as violating any other workplace rule.

Re: Carrying at work
"Premises" applies to places that are off limits by statute. "Property" applies to what someone owns or controls and has the right to tell you that you can't enter or remain.
