Yes, the presumption is that this facility isn't one of the exempted places. I figured the OP would have covered that aspect with his friend before posting here.

Off topic...but how do you post a link like that, and name it something else?

See the little tools in your reply box where you can change the font size and color ? Next to the smileys icon, there's a hyperlink icon that looks like this (but smaller):

Just highlight the words you want to appear in the comment, and while they are highlighted, click that tool. It will ask you for the link you want to hide inside the highlighted words...paste it in the box offered, and click "OK". Voila.

First, get a copy of the URL that you want people to go to. Highlight the address bar by clicking in it and then press the Control-a. The whole bar should be darkened. Then hit Control-c to capture the address

Place your cursor where you want it to be on the post and type the text that you want it to be... such as

Good Article that Everyone Should Read.

Highlight that text by dragging your cursor over it.]

click on the little icon button above this that has a ball and chain. It will open and give you a place to copy the URL address you have. Save it and then save the post. The URL will now be hidden in the text.

I'm assuming this was in response to me...

We are assuming the average employee would have been informed that their site is under the regulation of Homeland Security for the reasons I mentioned. I would bet that knowledge is not widely known in the effected facilities.

Just curious, but what can he gain from the lawyer, to me it seems like if he got his job back he would be fired immediately for something else that would be legal. Can he get lost wages or something? not trying to be a smart alec or anything I really just would like to know. I completely agree that it is BS to be fired for having a gun in your vehicle, I do it every day and there are several in the office here.

The green poultice will cure him of his mental anguish he has suffered as a result of this wrongful termination. The employer screwed the pooch by specifying the reason for termination, assuming it was indeed done. Which does make me wonder if they are an exempted place of business.

Depends on how you have your settings... you won't see the breakdown unless you have "basic" checked. "Enhanced" will just quote it as it is in the comment.

Lol, I didn't know that. I just assumed it was always like that.

Formatting is such

[ url = www. url. com] TEXT YOU WANT TO TYPE [/url]

Remove the spaces in the URL though.

IC 34-28-7(2) has the effect of prohibiting; an employee of the person, including a contract employee, from possessing a firearm or ammunition that is locked in the trunk of the employee's vehicle, kept in the glove compartment of the employee's locked vehicle, or stored out of plain sight in the employee's locked vehicle.

The way I read the law it only prevents the employer from telling you that you cannot have it out there it does not stop the employer from firing you

Should the OP's friend NOT have been fired even though it violated company policy; regardless of the law on the books? Seems like an over-reach by govt, to me.

 

[Rookie]

I agree with you, but if I'm expected to obey the laws I don't agree with (all drug laws, seatbelt laws, smoking ban, firearms laws, etc) or face the consequences, then I expect the employers to abide by the same rules.

Regardless of the law? How does that work?

"Oh, well, you didn't mean to hit and kill that mother of 5 when you were driving home from the bars. Since you didn't mean to, regardless of the law, we won't take you to jail or prosecute you for it?

That was an argument debated here pretty extensively back at the time. I think there is an argument to be made for both sides of that. I take it that you come down on the side of the supremacy of private property rights. If so I assume you are also against anti-smoking laws in private businesses.

Very much against govt telling a private business what legal acts are acceptable on their property; even smoking.

Regardless or "not taking into consideration." Try reading that way, and the context might take hold.
