Legality Issue - Employee Agreement Vs NE Law
HuskerXDM:
I have a similar issue, only being an employee of a public school with the same policy... I would think that by accepting federal funding, a public employer shouldn't be able to tell me I can't legally store my firearm in my vehicle (for going to the range or for CCW once I leave school property).
NE Bull:
Our company has a similar policy, but also has a trap team, and many hunters, so it's sort of a understood- don't ask, don't tell type of thing. Heck, the first year or so, I kept a .22 in the gunracks in the back window.
DaveB:
The company would need reasonable cause to search a private vehicle on their property and then would need a warrant and police to do it. They would really have to be upset at you to go that far!
SeanN:
So sounds like regardless of what they say, I'm not breaking the law just their policy which could get me fired.
Interesting.
I haven't done it yet and I'm not sure I really want to. But it's nice to know I'm not breaking any laws.
The only worry I have is that if I end up having to drive to a company function off-site and have someone in the car with me and just happened to bring my gun with me stored in the car.
From what I understand: A concealed handgun in the glovebox or otherwise in the vehicle can be considered concealed by anyone in the vehicle so if I got pulled over or something and had to tell the officer I had the gun the person with me would be charged with illegally concealing a gun and would definitely tell my boss.
That or I'd have to pull it out ahead of time, and conceal it on my person before they get in the car. That could be difficult.
SeanN:
Honestly, it seems like a huge hassle to deal with. I'll probably continue to just not carry to and from work as much as that bothers me.
