I got an interesting e-mail today at work from my employer. Like many companies around the state, they currently prohibit firearms on company property. This of course is within their ability as a private corporation.
I respect their decisions, and certainly understand that top management has a difficult task of balancing many factors regarding employee safety and satisfaction.
Note that I've edited out our company's name, because it is not at all my intent to cast the decision in a negative light nor do I want others to view it that way.
The purpose of this post is to generate discussion on how different employers around the state are dealing with the new law. If you want to bash employer A or B for their views, take it to another thread. If bashing takes place I will request the mods close the thread.
If you want to suggest that I simply ignore the current prohibition, take it to another thread. It isn't relevant here.
I thought long and hard about the statement, and decided that I would take it at face value: the company is studying the law so that it can make an appropriate determination on the current policy that prohibits firearms on the property.
Other experiences?

Gov. Mitch Daniels recently signed into law legislation that allows employees to keep guns in locked vehicles even if those vehicles are parked on company property. That law takes effect on July 1, 2010.
The Company's policy prohibits employees from bringing guns onto all Company property – and it remains in effect. We are in the process of reviewing the applicability of the law to each Company facility. Until further notice, employees are not permitted to bring firearms onto any Company property, which includes vehicles in the parking lot.
