Ok, did some prior research and found this link with information on Firearms on Federal Facilities:
http://caselaw.lp.findlaw.com/casecode/uscodes/18/parts/i/chapters/44/sections/section_930.html
I work as a contractor on a Federal Facility. To get into the parking lot, I have to show my work badge, so I'm assuming then the parking lot is also Federal property right? I do not intend to bring in my firearm into the building, but I would at least like it locked up in my car. I do have a "secure" box in my car. Does the fact that I have to show my ID to get into the parking lot, make the parking lotFederal Property? Then would that make it illegal for me to even have my firearm locked up in my car while at work?
At the bottom of that link it states the following:
h) Notice of the provisions of subsections (a) and (b) shall be
posted conspicuously at each public entrance to each Federal
facility, and notice of subsection (e) shall be posted
conspicuously at each public entrance to each Federal court
facility, and no person shall be convicted of an offense under
subsection (a) or (e) with respect to a Federal facility if such
notice is not so posted at such facility, unless such person had
actual notice of subsection (a) or (e), as the case may be.
Now there are no signs displayed saying this is a Federal Facility nor any "No Gun Allowed" signs either so does that mean it's ok since nothing is posted? At the very end it says "
unless such person had actual notice of subsection". What does that mean? Does it mean that the fact that I posted this link, that I have actual notice? No one at work has told me and I don't want to ask either as I've just started the job a few weeks ago.
I don't like having to be disarmed just because I have to go to work. The facility is in VA, so I can have a firearm normally. I also have a CHP, but I don't think that helps in this matter much. Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
