How do I know if my place of work is on the exempt list? Is there a list of company's posted somewhere? I'm a bit unsure if my workplace is on that list.
The actual IC is listed a few posts up...

sue them and set a precident, or contact the AG's office and get them a warning letter. nothing you can realy sue them over unless they actualy terminated you and stated the reason was for having a gun in your car. better make sure you wait for the law to go into affect before you make a stink about it, or you may get fired now for them not liking the cologn you wear
preface- my company has a strict "no weapons" policy that i have already been informed of when i was asked to leave my pocket knife at home- not just in my car. although i could argue until i am blue in the face that my knife was a tool and not a weapon and i had a counter to every example of the danger of me having the knife, i respectfully agreed to follow the rules.
but this past week, i was pulled in to HR yet again over a "growing concern for the safety of my co workers." i was confronted by my company's senior director and informed that an employee noticed me carrying a firearm. i responded that i would not jeopardize my employment by violating company policy. i have a family that depends on my income. i did however have an empty holster on my hip. the same way my wallet, keys, and belt switch from one pair of pants to the next, so does my holster. at this time, my glock was at home safely locked in its case atop my dresser. i was then informed that i would no longer be able to carry my holster into the building because it has already sparked panic. again, i will oblige.
but, when i pointed out bill 1065, i was told that my company's policy will not change and that a firearm locked in my car out of sight will still be grounds for termination. how would you approach this moving forward?
Yes, but Indiana being an "at will" employment state, your crappy lawyer would have to prove intent to a jury if they were smart enough to simply say "we no longer require your services".
I plan on simply keeping my mouth shut.
I don't see my employer changing policy due to a law. In fact, I could see them looking forward to being the test case...even if that weren't the case I don't see why anyone would feel the need to advertise.

my plant manager said basically the same thing to me and then followed it up with "I won't let anyone on my private property with a gun, and this is private property just the same as my house. Go ahead bring your gun to work."
I have since dropped the subject!
Fox 59 news in Indy just interviewed me for a story about this. It should be on here in a few minutes at 4:00 PM.
