I think the majority of the confusion comes from the phrase "expressly permitted". Depending on the company, I may or may not carry there based on that policy. However, I would certainly carry to the office and then secure my firearm in my vehicle as the parking lot law "expressly permit[s]" that (barring one of the various exceptions, of course).

This cannot be legally construed as effective notice as it does not use the 30.06 language. Written notice must be 30.06.

The way I read this policy is that you may not carry while at work, but they can't stop you from carrying and storing your firearm in you vehicle (parking lot law). Now, my interpretation may or may not be correct, however, it is not 30.06 language, therefore you can legally ignore it and carry away, but you could be terminated if discovered. As usual, concealed means concealed. YMMV.

Just my $0.02.
