Re: SB 199 issue at work
If that type of email came out there would be a IOC right behind it pending a physical rules change i.e. policy manual updates, signage at the parking lot entrances etc. If in fact an IOC was attached to the email, could the OP post it please? I'm sure no state agency would issue such an email without clearing legal dept 1st and signed off by the agency director. Who is a cabinet member.
For the average joe this means, some yocal a little up the food chain didn't thunk it all up & ''hit send.'' I sure hope that is accurate though and good for you guys!

Re: SB 199 issue at work
From an outsiders point of view at the G.M. plant. If one who is employed there does not sign the permission form and does not have a hang gun in the Parked vehicle they own there is no violation even if G.M would run annual back ground checks to revel one has a permit does not mean they have the hand gun in the car. If one would reports to work on day and "Forgets" as long as it was unloaded and placed in the trunk or separate lockable container one would still be with in policy at G.M .

Re: SB 199 issue at work
The two overlap but it looks like it's possible to gain the benefits of 2923.1210 without violating 2921.36.JustaShooter wrote:But, the new law appears pretty clear in that it applies to any "public or private employer". So, when such apparent conflicts exist in the law, how does one decide which has precedence? In this case, the state has said the new law applies, and I suspect they've had their lawyers look things over. But I'm still curious, it seems there must be a mechanism to use to determine which applies.JediSkipdogg wrote:I'm not sure how you can carry at all. 2921.36 Illegal conveyance of weapons, drugs or other prohibited items onto grounds of detention facility or institution. still comes into play which pretty much takes all jails and prisons off limits, including your vehicle.1911's 4 life wrote:I work at a prison. The State sent out an email stating as long as we follow the law its all good. I've been carrying since Tuesday. And it feels good to carry everyday instead of just my days off.
2921.36 has the following exception: "It is an affirmative defense to a charge under division (A)(1) of this section that the weapon or dangerous ordnance in question was being transported in a motor vehicle for any lawful purpose, that it was not on the actor's person, and, if the weapon or dangerous ordnance in question was a firearm, that it was unloaded and was being carried in a closed package, box, or case or in a compartment that can be reached only by leaving the vehicle."
Since the new law (2923.1210) requires the gun and ammunition be locked in the trunk, glove box, or other container, you can apparently comply with 2921.36 by unloading and storing the gun and ammunition in separate locked containers, and thereby also be in compliance with the new parking lot law.

Re: SB 199 issue at work
True, one just has to make sure it's that way before entering the "premises." So one can't have a "car gun" that is always loaded or pull in the lot, unload and safely secure.DontTreadOnMe wrote:The two overlap but it looks like it's possible to gain the benefits of 2923.1210 without violating 2921.36.

Re: SB 199 issue at work
I guess I didn't make my question clear. I was referring simply to the form itself, not whether you carry into the lot or not. For example, if my former employer were to use the same form mentioned, (do you have a CHL check yes or no and sign) and you didn't fill it out and sign it, you would possibly be terminated just for not signing the form. Signing the form would be a condition of employment, just like all the other forms they had. If you didn't sign because you disagreed with one of their new policies, there's the door.DontTreadOnMe wrote:The choice is to get company permission to do so. If they don't want company permission, there's no need to complete the form.M-Quigley wrote:Do these employees even have a choice to sign or not?steves 50de wrote:I would not play this game with these people or any company. Don't ask don't tell, don't sign forms, store firearm in locked car.
The only way they wouldn't do this was if someone from their legal dept told them it wasn't legal or advisable to even ask the question or make that policy, whatever that was. For example, I had an employer once who (in her words) was a "good Christian woman" and didn't like gay people, and didn't want them working for her. Someone told her that private employers can legally discriminate on the basis of sexual orientation in Ohio The GM she had convinced her that it wasn't a good idea to ask prospective employees if they were homosexual or not. Also rather than have a rule strictly against homosexuals, have a general rule regarding behavior of a sexual nature at the workplace.

Re: SB 199 issue at work
Okay but to be clear that's not what's going on in the OP's case. It's a voluntary form for employees to complete if they want permission. In the case you state, I suppose you could be fired if you don't complete the form, so in that case why not just say 'no'? If they can fire you for not completing the form, they can't double-fire you for completing it falsely. And unless you run your yap, how would they know? They can't get that info from the sheriff directly.M-Quigley wrote:I guess I didn't make my question clear. I was referring simply to the form itself, not whether you carry into the lot or not.

If you want you can complete it truthfully, at the cost of $15. Before filling out the form drop your license in the trash and send off for a replacement. You do not have a CHL, so truthfully complete the form saying 'no'. In a few days or weeks when the replacement comes in, back to life as usual.

Re: SB 199 issue at work
Oh, okay, that's what I was wondering. It wasn't clear to me from the OP whether it was voluntary or not. If I was in that same situation and it was voluntary, I just wouldn't sign it one way or the other. I don't need their "permission" under the law, and they don't have a right to know whether I have a CHL or not, or whether I have a gun in my car or not if I did have one.DontTreadOnMe wrote:Okay but to be clear that's not what's going on in the OP's case.

Re: SB 199 issue at work
It is voluntary but if you don't sign to their stipulations then you can't bring your firearm. Nothing new from our union. Idk if it came from corporate or Totino bigshots within the plant. Ufcw 1059 is about worthless so I'm sure they won't help.

Re: SB 199 issue at work
According to who? How would they find out? Car searches? Even if they discover someone legally has a gun in their car, then what? They are just going to ignore the new law?38smith wrote:It is voluntary but if you don't sign to their stipulations then you can't bring your firearm. Nothing new from our union.

Re: SB 199 issue at work
No, they will fire you for not following the company policy that requires you to fill out & sign the form, not for having a gun in your car.M-Quigley wrote:According to who? How would they find out?

Re: SB 199 issue at work
You mean to tell me that there is no specified method to resolve conflicts in the law itself like this one outside of court? Like, the most recently enacted section wins, or the section that falls later in the law, or the least / most restrictive, etc.? Seems that would be a standard part of the body of law since conflicts like this are unfortunately inevitable.schmieg wrote:There is.

However, I think the course for clarification is usually through the courts.1.52 Irreconcilable statutes or amendments - harmonization.
(A) If statutes enacted at the same or different sessions of the legislature are irreconcilable, the statute latest in date of enactment prevails.
(B) If amendments to the same statute are enacted at the same or different sessions of the legislature, one amendment without reference to another, the amendments are to be harmonized, if possible, so that effect may be given to each. If the amendments are substantively irreconcilable, the latest in date of enactment prevails. The fact that a later amendment restates language deleted by an earlier amendment, or fails to include language inserted by an earlier amendment, does not of itself make the amendments irreconcilable. Amendments are irreconcilable only when changes made by each cannot reasonably be put into simultaneous operation.
