The issue isn't the theory of private property but legalisms that might result from the interaction of the law and attempts to circumvent it with some handbook language, perhaps demanding searches.

...all of the above figure in how this law is to be implemented in reality with companies and employee handbooks...your rude dismissal/branding of others' opinions is as obnoxious as your trying to tell folks here what to post and not...and telling them to go read thus and such...you need to take your feet down off the coffee table and respect the other guests at this party...

...sounds like the new law will cover you, then...

...I don't think your presentation of the CHL when you were stopped would be reasonable cause for him to search your car...I would present, though, because, even though the penalty was removed...it's still the law...and if you don't...THEN I'd say he has reason to believe you might be hiding something(assuming that he found out on the computer that you HAVE a CHL...
...what it boils down to...is that the law will only discourage employers from posting...not from having their way with us about carrying...I'd like to have seen more teeth in the law in our favor...tough to accomplish with Texas' hire/fire practices...

...I have never heard of an employer searching cars on the parking lot...I can see where perhaps a defense-related employer might have that strict a policy...but who can name others that actually search employees cars, either with a walk-by with a dog, or force the employee to open the vehicle so that they can search it????
