Is there any law that says you can or can't carry a firearm on a small airport? I would assume you could, and obviously I am too young but for future refrance I would like to know..
Depends entirely upon state law, so you would have to tell us what state you are asking about to receiving an answer with any accuracy at all.Is there any law that says you can or can't carry a firearm on a small airport?

Federally you're good to go, as long as there is no "sterile" area.

In Washington state I can and have carried openly without a licesne, or concealed with a license, right up to the entrance to the passenger screening area of commercial airports such as Seattle Tacoma International Airport.
He didn't close it ... he simply made the runways unusable ... between midnight and 6 am, with aircraft still there on the ground ... and the FAA staff manning the tower.What he said. Another, rather famous example is the Chicago Meigs field which that _ Mayor Daley closed.

But he didn't "close" the airport ... he didn't have the "power" to do that .. and besides, they had promised the FAA/Federal government they would keep it open for 20 years when they took their improvement money.
I guarantee you with 99% certainty that FEDEX will not allow you to carry on the job as a matter of terms of employment.Well I happen to live in WA as a matter f fact. My reason for asking is I am looking into a future job a a fedex Cessna Caravan pilot.
Might get pulled over while flying over NJ.No law that I'm aware of, at least in New York State; in fact, my carry permit is unrestricted because I fly in and out of a lot of small GA airports where there is no security in place. I would not, however, land at an airport in New Jersey where state law prohibits handguns.
I've oftentimes wondered about flying from New York to Pennsylvania (I can carry in both states) and going through New Jersey's airspace. Presumably, the rules for ground transit apply, that is, the pistol should be cased and locked, with ammo stored elsewhere.
(I'm a pilot and flight instructor.)
It would suck to have an emergency, divert to an airport in NJ, and face arrest as you're unloading your stuff while giving your info to the cops.
He dug X-shaped trenches into the runway, which is the symbol used to signify a closed airport (though usually the X's are PAINTED on, rather than dug into the actual surface).
Regardless - though I've never flown in that area and never intend to, I still consider him a terrible example of a human being. After the airport was demolished he turned it into a park that he named after his wife . . .
In any event, you probably want to check state law, but there's nothing Federal. I know a lot of planes that travel in Alaska and such carry not only weapons during hunting trips, but also often have a survival rifle onboard.

To the OP, I'm betting Empire prohibits weapons on company property. Don't piss away a career over it. The first captain I flew with after IOE at Piedmont is looking at a weapons charge right now. Even if he gets a slap on the wrist through the legal system, he violated company policy and will likely be terminated. He's a very good guy in a bad spot. Don't willingly put yourself there.
