again, IANAL and this ain't legal advice, but I'd be very careful with "hypothetical" questions ... seems to my non-lawyer mind that a definitive "NO" even to a "hypothetical" question is very likely still "effective notice" under PC 30.06 ... or at least would certainly be construed as such by the owner/management who gave you that answer.

Agreed but I was trying to avoid the kind of thing that Jumping Frog posted in the post following yours. Being given notice not to be able to carry is one thing but being persecuted in your job because of their knowledge that you have already taken part in some gun related activity in another whole. With the hypothetical situation, you at least have the out that you heard their message loud and clear (even if you did choose to ignore it.)

I agree that the best course of action is to not say a word if you are in doubt. Of course, that leaves you open to dismissal if you ever are discovered and your interpretation was wrong. Some people can live with that, others cannot.

Please post if you are given permission to carry. Personally, I would doubt that you will get it. You might want to ask your question of management as a hypothetical one. "I'm thinking about getting a concealed handgun license. If I did that, would I be allowed to carry in company space?"

The company that I just left had a very clear policy. No guns ever on any part of anything that even remotely involved that company. I was thrilled about the recent Texas parking lot bill but fortunately, I rarely had to go anywhere near a company office to work.
