Guess there are some things that either need to be changed or dropped. Looks like it was done in 1977, and revised in 1991, may be a little out of date.

If the gun's in the glove compartment or under the seat - perhaps. As long as it's holstered on your person I don't think there shouldn't be an issue.

DaveB:
Don't think it will stick now that we have the conceal law, I would hate to be the cop that tried it because the defense would be legal conceal. But, I've been wrong before.

FarmerRick:
The way I understand it:

If there is a concealed weapon in the car(and not on a person) and nobody claims it, it belongs to everyone in the car, and all are(or can be) charged with possession of concealed weapon.

If there is a concealed weapon in the car and one person claims it, it belongs to that person. 
Now, if that person has a CCW permit, I can't imagine why anyone would be charged with possession of a concealed weapon.


I am also NOT an attorney.  :angel1:

If carrying is that important to you, why did you not ask the specific question prior to being hired?  You indicate that you will be in a company truck, why not ask the question of being to carry and etc BEFORE you accept the job?

Not trying to stir the pot, just asking what I think would be a logical question during the intereview process.

First off, you don't ask questions like that in Omaha. Many people here are so afraid of guns that they'll freak out if you ask them something like that.

I'm not using a company truck, it is completely my personally owned vehicle that I'm talking about. I never have or likely will drive a company-owned vehicle.

But yeah, that was the precedent I was told about when I took my CCW class and the reason why I don't carry to work. It isn't like an end-all problem for me, just bothers me a little. I'll deal.

Thanks for the insight, everyone.

On a side note: I suppose I could just keep something in the trunk...

I'm just glad that the employee agreement doesn't override law. Thinking about it now, I realize it was a stupid thought but at the time it sounded logical that it might. Weird, eh?

Sean, would it be an option for you to purchase a tethered lock box that would fit under your set so somewhere on the drivers side of your vehicle. Thus if you where ever pulled over with a co-worker in the car the firearm would be secure and under your control (key to box on you). As long as LEO has no reason to drag you to the curb and cuff you the passenger would be no wiser.
Or just obey all traffic laws. (option)
