The good new is this: I got a job.
The bad news is in the employee handbook (with my footnotes):
(0) What does workplace violence prevention have to do with legal carry?
(1) That's Personal Protection Act, dummy. And anyhow, it's been struck down by activist judges, so none of its provisions is valid.
(2) And incorrectly. There is no requirement to conceal.
(3) Singular/plural agreement?
(4) course of cope? Whataheck is that?
(5) Oh, just one permit holder? Who? Certainly not me!
(6) Stupid policy aside, does this sentence even resemble English?
It's reassuring, I guess, that a complete lack of controlled access and unarmed security guys will keep me safe.

Workplace Violence Prevention – Concealed Handguns(0)
The Minnesota Citizens’ Prevention(1) Protection Act of 2003, commonly(2) known as the Conceal and Carry Law, allows permit holders(3) to carry a pistol on his/her person, on or about his/her clothes, in a motor vehicle, snowmobile or boat, or in a public place. It also includes private property that is regularly and frequently open to the public, which includes most businesses. The Act provides that both public and private employers may establish policies that restrict employees, including permit holders, from carrying and possessing firearms while acting in the course of cope(4) of employment.
[This employer] prohibits a(5) permit holder and others from bringing firearms into our premises, or while engaging in company business off site, specifically at the client site(6). The Company reserves the right to search and inspect property and persons while on company premises, or while engaged in company business off premises. Any violation of their policy will result in discipline, up to and including immediate termination of employment.
Employees who are aware of policy violations, or who receive threats of violence while on company premises, or while engaged in company business off premises, should promptly report he violations or threats to Human Resources of Company Management.
