I don't remember the circumstances or the outcome, but I remember reading somewhere about a court case that was about overturning a similar set of rules. The thrust of the suit was that the company's rules restricted the individual's rights under state law. Anybody heard about this?
My company has a like policy regarding weapons. I think it's more for CYA than anything else. They even says something about "regardless if you have a state issued permit" or something like that to make sure me and my fellow CCW's are covered under the policy. It mentions knives, pepper spray, brass knuckles, etc.... Still see lots of people carrying knives in a front or back pocket. I carry an ASP pepper spray on my key chain that is always in my front pocket and my piece is locked in the car. I don't worry about them searching my car as they don't and never will have a reason to. In the couple rounds of layoffs and random firing of employees my company hires LEO's to stand watch at all entrances for a couple weeks after to make sure nobody tries something stupid. To me the whole thing is a necessary evil which I'm willing to compromise on. Would I like to carry at work...yes. Am I going to quit a great job and put stress on my family cause I can't, of course not.
