anybody know if your work has any legal ground to say you can't have a gun with the proper permits in the parking lot? can't carry inside obviously, or carry in the parking lot itself, but does the law apply the same here as it does to other places that have "no guns" signs or are prohibited by the law itself and require the gun to be locked in the car prior to exiting??

Read 018.06 and see what you think.

My non-expert opinion is that they cannot legally prevent you from keeping it properly stored in your car. As a corporate policy they can fire you most likely.

Any actual experts know?

As a condition of your employment, your employer can have you sign off on their rules.  We have a handbook, and even though state law would allow me to carry in my private vehicle, I can be fired for doing so.  The NFOA tried to address this a couple of years ago, but it didn't get anywhere.  My advice is, if it's reasonable for you to do so, park off their property.

LB60 would still be an active bill this session, but sitting in committee.
It is a great bill, but IMO written a bit too strongly to get passed as written.

can't park off property, just makes you wonder though because i can't think of a way they could get legal grounds to search a vehicle unless there was a major incident requiring police to be there searching vehicles (never happened anywhere to my knowledge). the only reason anybody should want to keep their daily carry in their car while at work is to have it to and from work when you make stops (and for dealing with the chance items that could happen, case in point, a man was stabbed 7 times in the face by a guy after they both got out of their vehicles to check damage from an accident, pure road rage and he got stabbed 7 times in the face. happened 3 weeks ago). silly to not be able to bring your firearm with you to the one place you go 85% of the week. being unable to bring it with means your employer forces you to be disarmed to and from work in your own vehicle.

hope a bill gets passed that will help sort this a little.
