Weapons not allowed at work

[wilbur352]

The company I work for has a no weapons on company property policy. I thought there might be a change with the new Indiana law, but there has be no mention.

Anyone with simular circumstances?

Isn't there a new law that your employer can't prohibit you from keeping them locked up in your car in the parking lot?

I live in MO so I didn't pay super close attention to whether it passed or not.

Company can have any policy they want. Most companies, though, can no longer fire you for having a gun locked in your car.

There's nothing saying they can't fire you "just because," though. Discretion would be a good idea at such places, or finding a job with a better company when the chance presents itself.

Or don't talk about it, if its locked in your vehicle out of sight and mind, they probably wont ever know about until either you or someone else tells about it or if you bring it out into plain sight for whatever reason.

I might know a couple of people who CC at work anyway.........

 

[snapping turtle]

I think Lilly/roche/and a couple of other places are exempt from the law via HOMELAND SECURITY REASONS. Other than the the car law passed.

I can get the automatic knife. It would be my luck that I'd try to use the throwing star on-duty and take out an innocent.

Nobody is innocent so long as you have a hisgun.

"Why did you stick him between the eyes with that pointy thingy?"

"Why right there, that thing that looks like that little Jennings .25 I showed you last week? That's his gun. I had to ninja his butt."

Gotcha!

Im a school bus driver. No weapons in the car for me either. Unless I park down the block...

Corp. policy hasn't changed here - still not allowed. I doubt they know about the new law. The parking lot is a gray area (owned by the leasing company, not my employer), but what they don't know can't hurt me.

 

[Regionnus Rattis]

I think the law only pertains to public access parking lots or buildings, like shopping malls or other public parking and buildings where there is commercial business taking place. So for instance, if it were a company like AT&T, they probably do not allow firearms on company property and they can enforce it because the buildings are private and their parking lots are probably private as well. They provide service but most buildings do not engage in direct commercial business with the consumer. Store in a mall can probably prohibit their employees from carrying firearms in their store, but the parking lot is public and so they cannot enforce the policy there. Nor can they enforce the customers from carrying a weapon into the store as it is a public place (anyone can walk in).

Here ya go, I speak from personal experience on testing that law. It doesn't end very well, even with NRA lawyers on your side.

I can get the automatic knife.

As an FYI, there aren't any provisions in the Indiana Code that allow for LEO to have automatic knives, either...

-J-

 

[femurphy77]

Since this was brought up. . . .the new law went into affect on July 1. The media has been uncharacteristically quiet about all of the mass shootings and general hysteria that has occured as a result of everybody packing heat at work.

Wut up wit dat???

This got brought up at work the other day and my company operates out of a privatley owned building/lot that we lease office space out of.


I need to look in the handbook and see what it says but with all the pro gun people here nothing would suprise me (notice me being carefull on what I say).

One guy I work with a little said the way he see's it he or she does not care even if you carry at work...... out of sight out of mind keep your mouth shut type deal.

I know there is nothing in the policy stating that the building onwer says no to it.. Ill try and remember to look into it soon. Like said above they will just find another reason to fire you.
