heres what i see happening. A legal way for employers to get around the law and get their way.
They could issue a new policy that says NO employee "without permission" can go to their vehicle while on the clock. if they do then they may receive diciplinary action up to and including termination.
Think its possible?

I have a guy that works for me that has a derringer print in the back pocket of his pants just like a "skoal ring" and I could care less.
balancing many factors regarding employee safety and satisfaction.
No. They can however say you can't move your vehicle while on company time AKA during a paid break for liability reasons. But they can't stop you from going to or getting in your vehicle. It is too hard to enforce on a mass level. What if you need money, something you forgot for work or your meds?They could issue a new policy that says NO employee "without permission" can go to their vehicle while on the clock. if they do then they may receive diciplinary action up to and including termination.

hey!!,,how any ppl do ya think picked Butler to be in the finals?...geez..i guess thats why they play the game..I think right now if you get any kind of info from your company stating that no firearm's are allowed is just them making a statement until the law goes in effect on July 1st.
Remember after this date if they still have this policy in effect "THEY" will be in violation, and to make matters worse have it as policy will set themselves up for being non compliant and risk lawsuits because of it.
Other words, until July 1st 2010 they can say/do anything they want. It's what they do/say after it's law that matters.
People are just going to have to wait as see how the other shoe falls right now.
OP, if you dont mind me asking what was your written response to the companys original memo?
I work for an exempt employer. An exempt employer who has prohibited firearms on their property is not going to go to the trouble of getting a search warrant. HR is going to call you into their office and say, "We have a report that you have a firearm in your vehicle. We want to search your vehicle. If you will not allow us to search your vehicle, your employment is terminated." That's all it takes. Your vehicle won't be searched if you deny them permission, but you won't be employed there any longer either.
