I read something along those lines. Better yet, I see that as SB321 NOT extending to leased oil property. Whatever the previous law is/was before SB321 is still in effect. Either way, if caught, at best you get fired, at worst you serve time. Both are risks I can't take! I hate that I have to be unarmed at any time...apostate wrote:IANAL but here's an example to demonstrate how I read the oil/natgas/mineral lease clause:
Dan Yanki owns some property. He leases the property to your employer for natgas production. Dan is scared of guns, so he puts a condition in the lease prohibiting firearms. Your employer may then prohibit you from carrying on Dan's property, so you (as their agent) don't breach the contract.
If you do bring a firearm on the lease, your employer may fire you. Depending on the type of firearm and the notice given, it may or may not be illegal. I'm not sure about your potential civil liability for the breach of contract.

Re: Commerical Vehicle Carry
I have the same connundrum...working in the oilfield, wanting to carry when I go on site but my company says (not necessarily in 30.06 terms) no weapons of any kind on property or in vehicles. The biggest issue is the DESTINATION property. The new employer parking lot bill says these two things that raise flags:
Most oilfield sites strictly prohibit any weapons and they don't have to be 30.06 per this bill it seemsSUBCHAPTER G. RESTRICTIONS ON PROHIBITING EMPLOYEE
