CCW and still can't carry.

[jav8r]

Turned paperwork in mid July and OSBI just ran my cc this week, so hopefully soon will have mine, but still will not be able to carry weekdays.
I work at a federal campus and go through guard gates everyday. So my handgun will have to stay at home.
When I get off I am not going to go all the way home before continuing on my way.
Anyone else having to keep theirs at home because of where they work?

Yep, I work for the fed and have to go through guards as well. There's a process to make it A-ok for me to leave it in my car at work(not exactly in a public access parking lot, they can't get to it). Just have to do a bunch of paperwork.

Really? I work in one of them places too but never heard of paperwork. Last I read they don't allow anywhere on Federally controlled property including parking lots. Even the visitor's parking lot by the main gate is off limits.

My employers policy is "no weapons". Since I pass through a gate with a guard shack, the law will not allow me to keep my carry in my vehicle. Even if I could, I'm considered an "at will" employee and my employer can dismiss me for no reason.

D. As used in this section, "motor vehicle" means any automobile, truck, minivan, sports utility vehicle, motorcycle, motor scooter, and any other vehicle required to be registered under the Oklahoma Vehicle License and Registration Act.



So, unless your employer is federal like the other guys', or if it is specified in the list of prohibited places, you're clear. If it is a state prison, then you can still have your weapon in the car as long as no prisoners are located in the parking lot. http://www.oscn.net/applications/oscn/DeliverDocument.asp?CiteID=441491





As for the part about "at will" employment, there are quite a few restrictions on what you can be terminated for. Sitting in a meeting with a bunch of HR people and a lawyer discussing that topic can be pretty eye opening.

My work is also gated but they allow folks to keep them in the vehicles as long as no one is the wiser.

Depends on what places you're talking about. I'm being purposely vague. Not that someone wanting to know where I work couldn't do some searches on my posts, but I'm not going to come out right and say where I am employed. With a certain person's approval, I can leave a firearm in my vehicle at work. There are rules to how it's SITTING in the car, but that's not a big deal honestly.

I typpically leave mine locked in my vehicle when i'm at work. Several people know its there, but they all know better than to even ask if it is there today...

Work in the Denver Federal Center...Guarded gates and random vehicle inspections (I get inspected about once a week). No gun policy with no exceptions.

MMAC. No firearms policy. Heck just having a pocket knife could be an issue. Stupid policy if you ask me but then I don't make the rules. I understand that the TAFB has some exceptions but DOD is a very different animal than civil public. If there is some way for public servants (non-military) to get an exception I would sure like to know about it. I drive a long way to work and have broken down a few times - in the dark.
