I can't get into all the details right now, but i work part time for an ambulance service that is owned by a group of townships. They just created a new employee firearm policy that prohibits possession of firearms on any of their properties regardless of employees being on/off duty, including having a firearm stored in a vehicle or at company sponsored events.
the 1990 premption law does apply in my opinion. The premption law does allow a local unit of government to prohibit possession of firearms for employees in the course of their employment.
This is a phrase often used in workers compensation cases.
“The key issue in determining whether an employee is in the course of employment is whether the employee is actually engaged in the furtherance of the employer's business or affairs”
The phrase is also nearly synonymous with “Scope of employment” which is further defined as:
“Activities of an employee that are in furtherance of duties that are owed to an employer and where the employer is, or could be, exercising some control, directly or indirectly, over the activities of the employee.”
It is my opinion that storing a firearm in your personal vehicle that you only access before/after you punch the timecard in/out is outside of this scope and therefore covered by preemption.
I sent the boss a letter. He is going to contact their attorney and we'll go from there.
