Prolly wrong place , if so i apologize,
I was confronted today by employer after almost a year of me getting my TLC. I Put my gun in a lock box in my pickup upon leaving to go inside to work. I was told that company policy was i couldnt not even have it on premise. Only people authorized can have them on premise..
I stated by law i am authorized by having my ltc that i can have on premise.
So im the next few days we will see who comes out on top..
Look up labor law 52.061, it states that no employer can DENY a employee the right to carry and store gun and ammunition in his vehicle in a locked box...

He can fire you if he wants.

May not be a fight you want to pitch unless you have another job lined up .

The law is on your side.

But at-will employment in a right-to-work state means you could have an uphill battle if they fire and you sue.

I still think it would be wrongful termination if they claim that’s the reason why they fire you.

Choose your battles wisely.

It wouldn’t be the gun locked in your vehicle that you’d be terminated for (if it comes to that). And unless you show/{fein} complete and utter compliance with company policy, why would you put future annual/merit raises at risk?

The best policy is yet again, keeping a “low profile” concerning your guns and a potential anti-gun employer.

The ‘grey man’ says, you might win the battle but you’ll loose the war. (Unless, like others have said, you already have new employment lined up).

You'd be surprised. I took that law to our company policy makers about three years ago and got them to change their policy of no firearms on their property.

Without giving away personal identifying details can you tell us what type of place you work at? You mentioned it's guarded.
