Re: "Possession of Unauthorized Firearms"
In any case, I doubt that they could successfully prosecute you for "failure to conceal", if the discovery was subsequent to a "search" of your person, because they suspected you might be carrying due to your previous inquiries.

Re: "Possession of Unauthorized Firearms"
I agree with that -- it matches what I said earlier. (Substituting "CCL" with "CHL")
The laws do not deal with reasons you can be fired. Only with reasons you may be arrested/prosecuted. In order to arrest, the wording in the employee manual must meet 30.06 wording. Any other wording can be used, but then would only be effective as a reason to terminate, not arrest.
You can be terminated at any time, for any reason. Even reasons that are not specified in a manual.

As I understand it, the above is specifically verbal notice. There is no requirement for the wording to look like a 30.06 sign (let alone the legally mandated text size), when verbal notice is given instead.
Printing out the notice in a handbook is indeed, verbal notice.
Please keep in mind that I am not a lawyer. At least I don't get any paychecks for my legal advice...
How so?

Re: "Possession of Unauthorized Firearms"
Same with the policy manuals at ALL shooting ranges (where the employees usually open-carry anyway).
