Is that because of mail regulations or the previous incident at FedEx or just because?

FedEx has a zero tolerance policy for weapons on company property. More than one pilot has been fired for this exact issue.

Sort of like your comment. Don't like, then this isn't the forum for you.

Yeah. Really. You can’t be fired for carrying a gun on property that the company and govt allows. If you’re stupid enough to carry a personal firearm onto property....perhaps you should be fired.

There is a difference between carrying (wearing it) and transporting it.

Many states passed laws that allow an employee to keep a firearm stored in their personal vehicles while at work.
