How is a handgun possible in your EDC...

[renegade1alpha]

When I worked for a large corporation here in Idaho I always kept a gun in the car. They told us we couldn't but I did anyway. Of course at the time, I was a reserve police officer (and a security officer for that company) so they pretty much knew I did but didn't say anything because of my military and law enforcement training.

In Kentucky You can keep it in your car even in a company parking lot and they can't say anything to you about it.

I work for a federal contractor, we have all kinds of signs around the building stating that it breaks federal law to have weapons on the premises. I know it dosent apply to agents and security, but even though I am a civilian employee I would feel weird leaving a weapon in my car. I have never read the fine print to see if the parking lot is considered part of the premises. (obviously it is)

I leave it locked in the truck. Always have. I've never asked if anyone cared or not.

So really this question should be based upon a state by state case. It's funny I was watching some youtube videos of people explaining what their EDC is and it got me thinking, how can you consider it a carry gun if you can't have it on you for 8 hours of the day.

I'll continue to just park on the side of the street, it is right in front of our office so there really isn't a threat for break in's and I'm also the only car parked out there. Now I'll just have to come up with a excuse as to why I'm the only employee parking out there, lol.

Easy. Utah just passed parking lot carry this year. Your gun in your employer's parking lot is none of your employer's business.

Keep your SD EDC in the SUV so there won't be a ND causing the LEO to show up resulting in the loss of your JOB. Sorry, that was the best I could do.

Of course if you get caught you'll be fired on the spot. and sooner or later somebody is going to ask you "Why did you leave your last position Mr. Boyer?"

"I did not agree with some of their policies!"

It's a lot more than 8 hrs a day for me.

I live in a rural area and have to commute some distance. I tend to run all my errands on the way home from work instead of going out again at nite.

Matter of fact, I tend to stick to home on the weekends if I can.

Side street option isnt really an option either. The corp. campuses are very large, and that not only leaves my firearm open to being stolen, it also endangers me personally, having to walk so far and away from populated areas.

This restriction keeps me from carrying about 4/5 of the time :-(

See this is what I'm getting at. Seems as though there are a lot of people who really carry very limited, such a shame.

I wouldn't be surprise if licensed carriers dismissed their companies policies but I myself respect their policy.

In your first post you imply that most licensed carriers would disregard their employer's wishes. Your most recent post seems to imply that you're disapponited to find that licensed carriers are generally not the rule breaking type. Can you elaborate on the incongruity?

 

[rdunique]

If you feel the need to dismiss the company's policies then go for it, and it doesn't surprise me. But after seeing others have limitations on carrying based on their jobs, I now beginning to realize it's not just a problem for me.

Are you satisfied with that answer?

"Premises" as pertains to the applicable Texas statutes is defined as the building itself and not the grounds.
