Even if i did i wouldn't admit to it on a public Forum
Believe me, I understand the sentiment. But if I had to leave my gun at home, I would only be carrying 1.5 days a week. I`d rather have the small inconvenience of having to get it out from behind the seat than to not have it at all. And also, when I`m off duty, my gun comes out and on my person for the trip home. With the passive theft detterent system of the vehicle, I`m not too worried about theft. And without a torch...the safe isn`t coming out period.Un-uh. No leavie gun in car.
The weapon stays with me or I don't carry.
What he said. Only three people should know when you do wrong...God, your spouse, and your lawyer.Even if i did i wouldn't admit to it on a public Forum
I routinely travel thru some pretty questionable areas, and often very remote areas that are prone to high drug activity (meth labs). I flat out violate this policy (quietly of course) by keeping one of my 1911`s in a safe bolted to the floor behind the drivers seat, and covered with some of either my sales or reference materials.
This is an area of the law that I have not researched. Since I do not carry on body while on company premises, and my gun is locked in a safe in my truck while on premise, this would be the only area of concern for me. Whether or not this could lead to criminal charges, I don`t know. Many company upper management people including my boss are avid sportsmen and or CPL holders, and I highly doubt....truly highly doubt anyone will ever ask to inspect the inside of my truck let alone my locked safe, and it is upon this premise that I feel comfortable in my decision to knowingly violate this company policy.Another thing you might want to consider msjdgman, is that some states may treat company policies like a store owner saying you cannot carry inside their store. In which case if you violate the company policy you are violating the law!
In Alabama, if a store/property owner states that you cannot carry in/on their property and you do so you are violating the law.
I've seen this discussed on one of the other forums and I believe one of the lawyers chimed in and stated that they would have no libility, but I'm not sure. You might do a search and find the answer thereWhat if you are attacked and seriously injured or killed on your way to work and because of your company's policy you had to leave your gun at home, would the company you work for be liable to you or your family?
Someone mentioned that it might be an insurance risk to the company to allow you to leave a weapon locked up in your vehicle, but I would think that they are also at risk when they deny you the opportunity to exercise your 2nd amendment rights as well.
What do you all think?
It was food for thought, I'm always trying to find the angles and work them.I've seen this discussed on one of the other forums and I believe one of the lawyers chimed in and stated that they would have no libility, but I'm not sure. You might do a search and find the answer there
Unfortunately, my workplace policies prohibit having a weapon of any kind on any premises owned or leased by the company. This includes my personally owned vehicle which I use for company business with compensation for it`s use. I routinely travel thru some pretty questionable areas, and often very remote areas that are prone to high drug activity (meth labs). I flat out violate this policy (quietly of course) by keeping one of my 1911`s in a safe bolted to the floor behind the drivers seat, and covered with some of either my sales or reference materials. My question is how many others carry or leave their weapon in their vehicle, and under what circumstances.
