As one who has worked many projects as a contractor, at first glance I do not see this as a big deal. I just read through three contracts that I have worked and there is no mention of weapons/firearms. So unless the parking lot is posted it is not a big deal. As a contractor I have been able to carry into buildings that the employees of the same company could not. Most of my contracts have been Corp-to-Corp. Very rarely are there specifics about my employees in the contract other than they must conduct themselves in an ethical manner and drug free. If you contract directly with a company (versus owning your own business-LLC) and they dictate too many restrictions--that in essence treat you as an employee--then you may have a case of being an employee and the company may have to provide the employee benefits to you. The IRS has very specific rules about contractor-vs-employees.TrueFlog wrote:Eiland is speaking again about the fact that contractors are not covered. He seems to understand that this bill is the best we can do. I think he's just trying to cover himself with his constituents - showing he made an effort to get contractors included. He and Kleinschmidt agree the best approach is to pass this bill, then amend it next session to cover contractors.
Record vote... Passed 117-29!
I am sure there are some contracts that would have language preventing it, however, unless the contact also states they can search your car then I would say, "Concealed is concealed".
Just my two cents YMMV.
