How do you feel about this mass email I just received? From my understanding of the law this seems illegal to tell me that I can not keep my gun in my truck. I am just trying to understand.

Thanks

It's not a true extension of your home. You have less rights in your vehicle than you do in your home.

Because of the idea behind that email you received, I have to take my gun out my car whenever I am traveling to visit my refinery/plant customers. Their policy strictly prohibits weapons of any kind anywhere on their property, including parking lots.

I work armed security and have been told that if I go to the VA for anything that I can not leave my gun in my vehicle, that I have to leave it with the VA security when entering the hospital. Have been told that they will walk the parking lot looking in cars for any weapons.
