    that covers their ass in case you have or are involved in an altercation. if your superiors like you great. IF NOT that altercation will lead to your being fired ! as you were in possession of a weapon in direct violation of company rules/ guidelines/ employee handbook policy. if they have box cutters on premesis you have an out. carry one of them.

    Went through this at another job a few years ago.. laughed my arse off. They cannot search your car unless you allow it.. regardless of their rules. They would need a warrent, even an officer would need serious probable cause and in most cases a search warrent.

    Just don't be dumb about the pistol, it should be locked if you're not in the car anyway... now this does look like it would prohibit you from carrying any type of knife... etc. Now what you could do is get a nice little flashlight with a kurnuled head.. E2D from Surefire comes to mind. What could they possibly say about that

    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.
