Almost everywhere I've worked is a big enough company that they've got an army of lawyers that told them "don't allow it". However, KY state law allows you to keep a firearm in your vehicle, and makes the employer liable for civil damages if they try to prohibit that.

I cant personally carry a firearm due to the fact I'm not 21 but my dad pocket carries a Sig P238 and nobody bugs him but its not "allowed".

It is against my company policy to do so.
That is my only response.

Welp, this pretty much tells me everything i need to know lol

I can not carry at work it violates company policy. I can carry at work because it violates no laws....Pick one and say nothing else....

I have to modify my answer.
Yes I do. They love the fact that I do. No, seriously. They love it.

Don't Ask / Don't Tell .

I work for a defense contractor and even the security guards don't carry. It's very weird because we are doing top secret kind of stuff. There's signs all over the place saying no firearms, no cameras, etc...

no firearms allowed in the hospital.

I'd be interested in reading a citation for this claim.

Oklahoma law is the same as in KY. You can have weapons in your vehicle parked in the company parking lot but if the company doesn,t allow weapons inside you must honor their request. As in Kentucky if an employer complains and asks you to remove the weapon's in your vehicle, you can sue them.

Glad I could help.

And, to answer the OP's question: Yup.

Has it been tested on appeal?

That is what god made Ruger LCP's for.

I think that was George Kellgren who made them first.....

I always have my firearm in my car. Florida Law allows you to have your weapon in your car.

The owner I work for carries and has allowed a few others to as well. A business/property owner can exercise discretion as they see fit. Even a church may allow certain individuals to carry, at least one that I know does.

it's not my company policy and I really wouldn't carry in the office. but it is in my car at all times. when i go out for lunch or a jobsite that i can carry it is with me at all times

I scanned the company manual and made discrete inquiries, found nothing that prohibits it so I abide by the state law as relates to my pistol license. Mainly it stays in the vehicle but I work out of my truck so I have access all day. I carry in some situations where animal attack is possible but never in populated areas where I'm required to be on someone else's property. I'm more concerned in my area with wild pigs than anything else, no problem if it is just one but they can get brave if there are several.
