Need help composing an exemption letter for my employer's weapons policy

[Russell76]

I am looking for help on creating an exemption letter to my employer's weapons policy. I have discussed this with the president and he is willing to grant an exemption but I have to present him with a suggested "exemption letter".

I'm not neccessarily interested in carrying concealed on my person. But I would like to avoid ruling it out.

My primary intent is to carry my hunting rifle in a company vehicle. I am in sales and drive a company vehicle everyday of the week and after normal work hours. It is terribly inconvenient to drive across the state to switch from an employer provided vehicle to my personal truck if I plan to do some hunting or shooting in a location I am already traveling to for work. I hope to create an "exemption letter" that does not restrict me any more than absolutely neccessary.

If you are willing to help me word such a letter PM me. Thanks!

Maybe use the TX law language that allows gun storage in your vehicle on company property?

Perhaps the president is looking for few things with regard to protecting the company's interest:
1. Does any personal use of the vehicle incur higher risk or liability with regard to property loss or personal injury?
2. If granted, the exemption must comply with federal, state, and local law regarding any and all personal use of the vehicle.
3. If you tangle with a game warden and the car is confiscated, you replace it.

In other words, put the company's interest ahead of your own in the exemption letter and your chances of success may improve. It would seem the president wants to be reasonable, so there is good potential for a win-win if you do your part.
