Guns or No Guns —
Weighing Workplace Weapons Policies

| March 6, 2013 | Webinars & Seminars

When Oklahoma’s “open carry” law went into effect last year, the issue of guns in the workplace was brought back to the forefront, with many Oklahoma businesses quickly adopting new weapons policies or revising existing ones. In light of recent mass shootings, though, more and more employers are carefully weighing their options to possibly allow weapons in their workplaces.

While the law specifically restricts guns in certain no-carry zones, it provides employers with significant latitude in crafting their own customized policies. And the options are numerous.
