Home Forums Miscellaneous Topics Second Amendment Cannot have firearms or ammo in your vehicle in the parking lot!

Right next the the VP of HR's car.

ATT fired someone for the same issue. No firearms allowed on ATT company property.

A former plant manager where I work wanted to search the plastic gun case on an employees moped because of the company policy against weapons. The employee said he could, but he was going to search everyone of the several hundred other vehicles in the parking lot. The plant manager decided he didn't want to fire several people that day.

Finally!

Maine: Gov LePage signs Right-to-Carry bills.

Gov. Paul LePage has signed into law three bills expanding the rights of concealed weapons permit holders in Maine. One of the bills, signed Tuesday, would bar businesses from prohibiting employees who have concealed firearms permits from keeping a firearm in their vehicle, as long as the vehicle is locked and the firearm is not visible.

Why only those with a concealed permit? It excludes the guy who wants to go bird hunting after work from having his shotgun in the trunk. In Idaho, at least, concealed carry only pertains to handguns and.

I know it's not perfect, but it's a step in the right direction.
More people will have to get CC permits.

U.S v. Lopez
Went to the US Supreme Court.

+ = WHEEEEE!!!!!

Depends on the state. Some states have legislated that companies cannot do this. But mostly, yes.

Sream and shout your dissaproval of their rules , that way they know who to check.DA

A fishing pole is a weapon, to a fish.

Pulling something other than strings !!! I went to school and hunted in Minnesota and New York, They always were fine with knowing that we had our shotguns in the truck everyday.

The City of Anchorage used to have that rule for its employees vehicles. They were challenged and lost in court, just of the case was it denied lawful protection to and from the work place

Yeah. It's absolutely, positively stupid, but it's private property and they can do as they wish.

Yeah, exercise some personal initiative. That is the approach I would try to take! (If I could park in a secure location like a parking garage - not owned by my employer!).

Then if my employer tried to force me to take an issued parking sticker ...... might open a whole 'nuther can-o-worms! Esp if the employer then said he could do spot inspections on employee's vehicles?

That pissing contest at that point might be fun!

Biggest challenge to this alternative suggestion is whether the new parking location is safe enough to avoid having your rig "burgled" or vandalized during the work day/shift.

While what you said to the Cop really was pretty good, Citizen Joe has to understand the Average LEO hears more stupid in a single average shift that the rest of us would hear in 168 hours of cable 'news'.

So the average LEO gets pretty immune to reacting to anything said to them.

The way it was explained to me, when the question came up several years ago was that your vehicle was considered part of your house. That might not be the correct terminology, but I think it means that if you can legally have it in your home, then you can legally have it in your vehicle.

It was further explained that, while legal to have it in your vehicle under the conditions explained above, that if you removed the firearm from your vehicle and actually carried it anywhere on company property, even from one car to another, then you were in violation or the rule or law or whatever it is.

This was several years ago, and I do not remember if this was a state or federal law, or both.

FL has a law that prevents them from searching your car.

Here in Kentucky your employer is prohibited from preventing employees and customers from possessing firearms in their vehicles.

I guess a concealed weapon permit is useless in this matter of having a wepon on company property.
Even if you leave it in your car.
