"1. Even if there was not an "AND" with additional requirements it would not automatically mean you cannot park your car there with a gun in it. It would mean the empoyer COULD prohibit it by policy".
My wife's employer does have a policy that prohibits having a gun, stun gun, taser, or knife in your car. The company leases a section of a parking garage in downtown Fort Worth where the employee uses a pass card to open a gate to access that part of the garage. It wouldn't surprise me to see the employer start searching cars when this legislation is passed. The employees don't have to park in the garage. They can park in any public parking lot downtown. Of course it will cost the employee at least 100.00 a month to do so. It wouldn't surprise me to see this company try to test this law. My wife will be OK, she is not breaking any company rules, but I sure wish they would allow her to a least carry a taser. An after hour walk between the work place and garage has some perfect spots for predators to lurk.
