Not sure if this belongs here, or General Gun Discussions... but.
As many know, Ohio recently passed must issue! Now our company is in a tissy, and getting lots of really bad advice from human resources.. They sent out a employee policy addendum which goes way over the line for many people (searches of private vehicles, no firearms in private vehicles on company property..we own the only parking lot for miles, and things like that).
Well, luckily me and a couple of known shooters are pushing back with the fact. Just today, two more people come out of the woodwork (one anonymously) to complain about the search issue, one was concerned that if he/she was being stalked it meant being defenseless from home to work, and what responsibility will the company accept for requiring that...etc...
My response has been attacking the legality, state law requires that employers do everything reasonable to assure a safe work place.. well the facts are pretty solid that allowing firearms in the workplace is safer than creating a criminal protection zone. Plus the Ohio CHL law provided immunity, but not if you can prove the company had 'malicious intent'. I think a good attorney could argue that point..due to a lot of problems with their policy (it defines "company property" as including any private vehicle in the company parking lot, among other ridiculous things).
The point of this message is, if your company goes off the deep end.. push back and do so as publicly as you can. You never know how many sheep may stand up and BAAAAH when they see they aren't alone..
We are very confident that this policy will change, mostly because 90% of the development department (Including the VP of product development) are very ready to seek other employement if necessary.. that would hurt really bad
So don't give in to the H.R. trolls!!! Fight back!
