My take on it (and no, I am not a lawyer):tamc9395 wrote:Possession, use or sale of weapons, firearms or explosives on work premises, while operating company machinery, equipment or vehicles for work-related purposes or while engaged in company business off premises is forbidden except where expressly authorized by the company and permitted by state and local laws. This policy applies to all employees, including but not limited to, except those who have a valid permit to carry a firearm. This policy does not apply to firearms stored in the employee's locked motor vehicle.
Employees who are aware of violations or threats of violations of this policy are required to report such violations or threats of violations to their supervisor immediately.
Violations of this policy will result in disciplinary action, up to and including discharge.
You create a potential minefield by saying "where expressly authorized by the company". Since your policy doesn't actually authorize anything, it could be construed as denying everything.
