Question: Jeremy accepted a management position at Future Electronics, a distribution center for electronic parts. When arriving for work on the first day, Jeremy notices a sign that states weapons, including handguns, are not permitted anywhere on the employer's premises. While completing his new hire paperwork, Jeremy sees the same information about weapons being banned from company property in the employee handbook. Additionally, the handbook informs employees that the company reservesthe right to search persons, vehicles, and other property. Jeremy has a permit to carry a handgun and it is currently locked in his vehicle in the parking lot. Jeremy signed his acceptance of the terms of the handbook; however, he had no intention of leaving his gun at home. Three months later, a disgruntled employee stormed in the building and shot the receptionist and his supervisor. Two weeks later, briefcases, purses, and vehicles were randomly searched by Future's Security Department. When the officers found the loaded gun under the seat of Jeremy's car, he was terminated. Use the South University Online Library or the Internet to find a statute in your state that references guns in the workplace. Consider combining terms (statute, guns, work) in your search.
