Oh well, I guess it's pepper spray or finding a company that supports my natural rights.

I wonder what the result/cost of a lawsuit would be, if an employee suffered an injury or death because the company forced them to disarm.

My wife and I have a standing agreement regarding that very thing if anything happens to me while up at work and my firearm (or lack thereof) turns out to be a contributing factor...

Hell hath no fury like a Texas woman's scorn..... lol

Good idea. That way I can get revenge from the grave lol. For now I will look into a taser. That is not against company policy.

Here's my thought on why it may be against the law, and I'm no lawyer either. The truck is their property. I feel like a company policy against carrying in the truck might be similar to a business owner verbally telling me I can't carry in their store. Once a business owner tells me that, I can no longer legally carry in the store.

I'm working in a very high crime area, and my company has a policy that we cannot carry in company trucks. My question is, if I carry in my company truck am I simply breaking company policy or am I breaking the law? My life is more important than my job, so I have no issue breaking company policy if that's all I'm breaking. But if that makes it against the law, I'm not willing to break the law.
