I currently am working for a company that has a no weapons on premises rule in their employee handbook which must be signed as being read and understood.
To bring the story full circle I was called into work to fix a problem after I had gone home and retrieved my pistol (for which I have a ccw permit) and was out in public before being called. Under the guys that this was an emergency I returned to work with my pistol in my normal concealed position, and proceeded to fix said problem when it became nesacary to remove my jacket thus exposeing my concealed weapon i went to my personal tool box put my gun in it locked the tool box then commenced to fix the problem. When the problem was resolved I retrieved my gun put my jacket back on and left.
Two days had passed and I had forgotten all about the incedent when I was pulled into a private meeting with my two supervisors and was repremanded for having my gun on the premisis. Citing that it is grounds for immediate dissmisal per the employee hand book that I had signed. I was co-operative and agreeable and made it very clear that I am not in the habit of breaking the rules and that they had no concern of it happening again (primarily because I won't be going in to pull anyones biscuts out of the fire anymore) and I understood their concerns.
It was at the end of the repremanding that both of my supervisors agreed that my gun can not be kept in my car because it is on company property, I seem to remember a supreme court ruling that this is unconstitutional, but I can not seem to find any info. on this ruling.
I am currently sitting at home after a three day suspension, that was enforced after the weekend and I reurned to work on Monday because of the severity of the infraction. While I was not real familiar with the open carry laws of Nevada having the last two days off has given me some time to do a lot of research and get to know my rights as a lawful gun owner. Anyone out there that has some ideas for help with this I would greatly appreciate it.
I am not looking to sue the company or anything I just want to be aware of my rights.
