[QUOTE="retiredTxfeeder, post: 3189620, member: 52978"] At least in Texas, a private employer may: 3. Prohibit employees from carrying or possessing firearms in the work place and company- provided vehicles, whether carried concealed or openly, whether licensed or not. TEX. LAB. CODE, sec. 52.062(b). However, state law does not allow a private employer to prohibit an employee, who is lawfully licensed, from possessing a firearm or ammunition in a locked, privately owned motor vehicle in a parking lot, parking garage, or other parking area the employer provides for employees. Texas Labor Code, sec. 52.061. (See Fn. 2) Even though there is a big sign at our guardshack prohibiting weapons on UPS property, they can not prohibit posessing a weapon on their parking lot. We had a driver get his vehicle broken into and they stole his pistol from his glove compartment. They didn't say a word to him about it. [/QUOTE]
