"No Weapons" is pretty damn vague. We've all seen the cop shows where some yahoo runs from the law and bumps the fender of a cruiser in the process, then is charged with "Assault on a police officer with a deadly weapon", or somesuch. Does this make all cars/trucks deadly weapons? Of course not. I also don't apply a blanket definition of "weapon" on a piece of metal and plastic just because it will eject a projectile from a grooved tube. A set of keys can be used as a weapon. A purse can be used as a weapon. A shoe can be used as a weapon. Personally, I've never used a firearm as a weapon, as likely 99.999%+ of the population never have either, so why are all firearms arbitrarily considered to be weapons? I've seen the signs, "No weapons (or firearms) on company property", and yet, as a customer, I can park my truck in the parking lot with a couple rifles in the rifle rack with no problem. As an employee at a couple of places, I've made a point of leaving a junk shotgun in the rack, and have been "counseled" over it, but they never pushed it to the point of dismissal. I think most employers don't want to find out whether or not they can legally dictate what you can or cannot have in your personal vehicle. If you don't want to challenge things you consider to be unjust, well, that's your decision, and you need to adapt to what they tell you. I won't. My freedom was paid for with the blood and fortunes of many great men only 230 short years ago, and I won't sell it back over a mere job.
