So at my job, I'm not allowed to have a gun in the building. I was told this on day one, and have complied. I go through a metal detector and security will randomly ask us to turn out pockets inside out.
But I noticed today that on a bulletin board there is a flyer saying something about weapons being banned from the property, including the warehouse, office building AND PARKING LOT.
Now in the employee handbook it doesn't mention the parking lot, there are gun buster signs on the door, but thats the ONLY time I have seen it mention the parking lot. I'm going to ask my supervisor about it next day I'm in, but it seems to me that if I have a CCW permit, I should be allowed to leave my weapon in my car while I'm at work.
Mind you, they don't have signs as you pull into the parking lot saying that you cant have a weapon in your car, it's not until I was inside that I saw the sign, so thats kinda like putting a "No guns allowed" sign in the bathroom stall of the gas station, not the front door, ya know?
So, legally, can they keep me from keeping the weapon in my car? That would effectively make it impossible for me to carry a weapon on my way to or from work, there fore they (the company I work for) should take responibility for my safety then, correct? I recall a story I heard, I can't find it online so I'm not sure if it's true, where there was shooting in a mall, in which a CCW permit holder's wife was killed, and he won a large lawsuit against the mall because they had a "no firearms" policy, and because of it, he couldn't defend himself or his wife.
