Has anyone had an employer tell them they cannot keep there firearm in there vehicle while they are working? I had my legal firearm in a secured lock box out of site in my truck while I worked, was never an issue until I gave a co_worker a ride home and he saw and complained.
Considering that the Washington State Constitution in Article 1 Section 24 says: SECTION 24 RIGHT TO BEAR ARMS. The right of the individual citizen to bear arms in defense of himself, or the state, shall not be impaired
Read for yourself at
Washington State Constitution
And with RCW 9.41.050 saying that:
Carrying firearms. ~~clipped for brevity~~
(2)(a) A person shall not carry or place a loaded pistol in any vehicle unless the person has a license to carry a concealed pistol and: (i) The pistol is on the licensee's person, (ii) the licensee is within the vehicle at all times that the pistol is there, or (iii) the licensee is away from the vehicle and the pistol is locked within the vehicle and concealed from view from outside the vehicle.
You may read this for yourself at
RCW 9.41.050: Carrying firearms.
I would say that as long as you have a Concealed Pistol Permit and a means of locking it out of view inside your car. Your employer is simply WRONG!
