Can You Still Ban Guns in Your Company Parking Lot?
Episode 374
Thursday, 22 October, 2026
Can an employer really prohibit guns on company property? The answer may surprise you. A growing number of states are limiting employers’ ability to enforce no-gun policies when employees legally store firearms inside locked vehicles in company parking lots. And for HR and business leaders, this creates a complicated intersection of employee rights, workplace safety, company policy, and rapidly changing state law. In this episode of This Week at Work, Phil Brandt and employment law attorney Burt Garland examine what employers need to know—including where no-gun policies may still be enforced, when discipline or even questioning an employee may create legal risk, restrictions on searching private vehicles, important exceptions, and why multistate employers face an especially difficult compliance challenge. The big takeaway: A workplace weapons policy that made sense a few years ago may not be legally enforceable today. Employers need to know exactly where their authority ends—and where state law begins.
