I was working a late night shift at my company. I walked out to find my truck broken into(window smashed) and my concealed weapon gone. When I got into work this afternoon they fired me for having a firearm on company property. Saying that because it was in my locked vehicle out of sight does not make it a concealed weapon. Legally it does. I had initialed a document saying I understood firearms were not allowed on the premises including the parking lot. However, wouldn't my truck be my private property? Advice?You initialed that you knew it was against policy to have a firearm in their parking lot. If your firearm was stolen from your truck while it was in their parking lot there is not a lot you can do. You knowingly violated company policy in an "at will" state....Double whammy.I kind of agree with this. However there are no signs in the parking lot. My truck is legally my property no matter where it is parked.However, your property was parked on their property, therefore fell under their rules. Signs do not matter, assuming it is part of your employee handbook that indicates firearms are not allowed on company grounds.

BTW Shall not be infringed also means private sectore not just Gov Regualtion!
Quote from: csaaphill on October 13, 2014, 08:35:12 PMBTW Shall not be infringed also means private sectore not just Gov Regualtion! You may wish this to be the case, and I might share your sentiment. But as a statement of how jurisprudence has sorted out the balance of private property rights versus other rights, including the Second Amendment, this clearly is not the case. You probably owe XD2005 an apology for correctly stating what is, rather than stating what you assumed he would like it to be.
I'm the one of which you are thinking. You're wrong, but I'm the one. I believe in private property rights. I also believe that business owners also retain those rights. You can disagree, that's fine, I think it's a stretch to call that a liberal ideal, however.
