All the law gives you is a better chance to win a lawsuit if you're fired for having a gun in your car within the limits of the law. There's no crime that would put the company executives or HR in jail for having the policy prohibiting guns.TexasAggie09 wrote:Thanks for the replies y'all. I haven't read the bill since it passed and my memory is no good. I guess it'd be the safe bet though to wait until they change their policy though right?
EDIT* After more research, it appears I can still be prohibited from carrying on leased oil/gas sites such as drilling sites. And being an at-will state, I can still be terminated if, say, I didn't "register" the gun with HR or something like that. Sounds like a ton of risk to my job given that I will be sent to the job site at the drop of a hat or can be terminated for no reason!

Re: Workplace Policy with New Law
What if I drive to a business, park my car in their lot, and just sit there for hours? Are you really suggesting that a company can't use the trespass laws to make me leave because parking lots aren't specifically mentioned?
If that's your belief, I won't waste any more time.

Re: Workplace Policy with New Law
I think those are examples and not an exclusive list. What if ACME has a manufacturing facility and erects a fence around the property? The fenced area is not on that list, but I think somebody who climbs the fence and skulks around without permission is trespassing.

Re: Workplace Policy with New Law
It says "property of another" so it looks like it applies to any property that isn't yours. I suspect it applies to real property and not all tangible personal property but IANAL and the last time I slept at a Holiday Inn Express was in June.3dfxMM wrote:I am waiting for someone to help clarify the wording in 30.05 regarding what types of property it applies to.
