It might be a bit of a stretch, but what is the legal definition of the word "creed"? I ask only because I wonder of our state employment law could be used as a defense to employer rules and regulations which attempt to prevent us from having guns at work (or in the car, etc).

The dictionary definition for creed would be something along the lines of "any system of belief or principles." Could you not say that our belief in being armed to defend ourselves and others is a system of belief or principles, a creed? It seems to me that in that case our employers would be unable to legally enact any policies that discriminate against anyone with that creed.Under the law, if it is because of a person’s race, creed, color, national origin, sex, marital status, age (40+), disability, retaliation, sexual orientation/gender identity, honorably discharged veteran or military status, or use of a trained dog guide or service animal by a person with a disability:
- An EMPLOYER may not: (1) refuse to hire a person, (2) discharge or bar a person from a job, (3) discriminate in compensation or other terms or conditions of employment, (4) print, circulate, or use any discriminatory statement, advertisement, publication, job application form, or make any inquiry in connection with prospective employment that is discriminatory.
