[QUOTE="soberups, post: 1261077, member: 14668"] I needed to ship the gun back to the factory. The public entrance to our Customer Counter is approximately 20 feet from the employee entrance. Our Customer Counter opens to the public an hour after I leave the building, and it closes about an hour before I usually get back. I called my center manager and asked what I should do in order to legally ship this gun, and she said to box it up with a NDA waybill filled out with my credit card# and leave it in the office so that it could be walked over to the Customer Counter the next day. UPS's "zero tolerance" policy on firearms in the workplace was never intended to prevent an employee [B]who is also a paying customer[/B] from shipping a firearm. Furthermore, Art 26 of the Western Conference language regarding suspensions and terminations very clearly lists the cardinal infractions for which an employee can be terminated without first going through the progressive discipline process. Bringing a boxed-up firearm in to be shipped is [I]not[/I] a cardinal infraction, so if some idiot really [I]did [/I]want to make a big deal out of it the worst he could do would be to give me a warning letter. As far as guns in cars in the employee parking lot goes...you should see our parking lot on the Friday before opening morning of deer hunting season. The back rows are full of pickups with campers and trailers, all loaded up with gear and ready to head for the hills after work. Anyone with a brain would know that there are hunting rifles in those campers, but that doesnt give the company the right to search them without the owners consent. [/QUOTE]
