Premature Exasperation: Don't let it ruin your good times
Folks, there's not much to get worked up about prior to Nov. 1rst. Even then, you have to really want a fight with your boss to make this an issue.
1. The limitation on employer weapon restrictions applies only to CCP holders.
2. It doesn't take effect until Nov. 1rst.
3. It applies to "weapon" as defined in the bill -- gun, knife, electric, etc.
4. When it does take effect, it says that an employer cannot, as a condition of employment, prohibit a permit holder from wearing or storing a weapon in their own vehicle, even while the vehicle is being used on duty and even while the vehicle is traveling or parked in a designated parking area on the employer's property.
Few employers will change their rules prior to Nov. 1. Even then, many employee policies already contain provisos such as, "enforced in accordance with applicable state and local law." That's especially the case with employers operating in multiple states. They won't bother editing their policies to spell out local exemptions, but will apply the local exemptions when a situation arises involving a potential violation.
An employer isn't under any obligation to spell out the vehicle exemption for you. They are obligated, however, to apply it if you're in trouble for having a weapon in your vehicle and offer the defense of a valid CCP issued by WI or a recognized state.
I am my Boss ( self employed ) . lol
