CCW at a posted industrial site??

(1/2) > >>

Hello, I was wondering the legality of a large industrial site with security gates and passes needed to enter, that has a no weapons/CCW policy posted, and also in their employee handbook.
Employees are subject to search coming and going, the handbook states that you cannot even have ammunition in your vehicle, I have never questioned this because I value the job.
However I sometimes wish I could carry CCW when I stop somewhere coming and going to work. This policy effectively disarms me more than half the time I leave my home.
Opinions Welcomed.

Sounds like they aren't leaving you many options while on their property.  I guess the only option I see while at work is to park your car where it isn't on their property while at work.  That's just my opinion though.

I can't dispute the owner of private property controlling it as he wishes. You can LEGALLY keep the handgun in your car if it is properly locked up, but that does not protect your job if they find out you violated the company policy

You both have good points that I have thought of, the parking off site would involve walking at least 1/2 mile and parking my vehicle on the street, relatively unsecured.
I have not wanted to push the issue of keeping the weapon secured in my vehicle onsite, since I am a fairly new employee.
I feel I am stuck with the status quo, until the law becomes more clear or someone challenges the issue.

With all due respect, they are fully within their right to post their property and not allow guns inside for their employees.  Now if you were just visiting lets say to tour the factory, you would by state law be allowed to leave your gun in the vehicle and be completely legal.  Now the choice is yours, you can leave it your car now and go into work and risk losing your job, yet I don't believe you would be breaking any laws but it would be in violation of your employee handbook and can be terminated if they find out.  For me, it would be worth it to leave it at home and keep my job but thats just my opinion and mine alone...
