Tennessee Firearms Assoc. Inc.

a church that i represent allowed me to bring up possibly changing the wording in the employee manual because of an incident that happened. currently it is the typical language that bans all weapons etc from the entire property, i suggested that we look into rewording it to provide protection for the employees that have HCPs to be able to leave their firearms locked in their car while at work. i'll provide the current language in the manual and am asking for some sugestions on what to replace that language with.

there are some reservations from some of the other staff about making sure the employees aren't carrying their firearms in the building so we have to make the language reflect that.

another thing to consider is there is also a day care that is located in a portion of this building, it's technically a seperate business and this manual wouldn't affect the daycare's employees but the daycare does share some of the same space with the church so i'm not sure if there is a prohibition from carrying lawful firearms in or near a daycare so that may be an issue.

here is the current statement in the employee manual that i'm looking to reword.

"Firearms of any type are not permitted in the parking lot or any of the church buildings."

another thing to consider is that they do not post the property so members are still able to carry to church on sunday, only the employees are prohibited from doing so.


EDIT: cleaned up the early morning pre-cofee post.

Well, what an addendum "This shall not apply to persons carrying pursuant to T.C.A. 39-17-1351." (The HCP statute) Of course, John would be the best authority if he comes across this thread.
