Firearms:

Introduction:

            The SOLANO’S Employee Handbook states, under the section titled Prohibited Conduct, “Carrying firearms or other dangerous weapons on company premises at any time”.  The purpose of this document is to clarify that policy.

 

Discussion:

            SOLANO’S does not require or condone that any employee use a firearm in the course of his/her duties as an employee.  The company does recognize, however, that individuals have the right to obtain a concealed carry permit from an applicable law enforcement organization.  To obtain such a permit, the individual receives additional training and vetting above and beyond that associated with purchasing a weapon.

 

Policy:

            Employees who are licensed to carry a concealed weapon may carry that weapon on company premises at their discretion.   A copy of their concealed carry permit must be on file in their personnel folder in HR.  SOLANO’S accepts no responsibility for any purposeful or accidental acts involving a concealed carry weapon on company premises.  Allowing an individual to have a weapon on the premises or in any company vehicle does not imply that the employee is expected or allowed to use that weapon in the course of performing their duties as an employee.
