We recently had our employee handbooks updated and they handed out new ones.Still no weapons policy. I'm convinced that it is intentional and not just an oversight.

I wish our company was like that, but at least now I know I can carry to work and not worry about my job.

However if the Parking lot bill passes, then they cannot punish you for it, even without a license.

I agree, except the parking lot bill to my knowledge is not law YET. Still needs to be signed by Perry, I think. Then becomes law on Sept. 1. Company policy would still apply right now. And it states you MUST be licensed to avoid company reprimand.

My point to share this is simple that we should al actually read what our policies are, not just go off what we are told. This is the first time, at least that I remeber, I have actually read our policy

I always know we had and ANTI-WEAPON policy, but figured it completly baned weapons. At least that is what even our pro-gun managers think. I stumbled across it this morning and found something interesting.

It states in it "as an exception to the general prohibition on weapons possession, an associate who posesses a valid license to carry a concealed handgun, issued by the appropriate state agency, may keep a handgun secured in his or her vehicle (personal or company owned), provided that the handgun is secured at all times."

My reason for posting this is that many times in the workplace polices are genrelized, and many of us have not fully read the policy. If you have not read your weapons policy, I would encourage you to do so.

Once my CHL gets here, I plan on haveing it in a lock box at work with a copy of our policy.
