[QUOTE="TallPrairie, post: 1126554, member: 7815"] NOT legal advice, but Whitey's post made me think of this: If an at-will employee was terminated, and the employer offered some pretextual legitimate reason for firing, but the employee could produce evidence showing that the employer [U]really[/U] fired him because of a legally stored gun in the employee's car, then the employee might be able to sue the former employer for damages under the common law doctrine of "[U]discharge against public policy[/U]," which is an exception to the at-will employment doctrine. The OK parking lot statute imposes criminal penalties for enforcing a no-guns-in-vehicles policy. That seems like strong evidence that "public policy" in OK would be harmed by allowing discharges for this reason. Anyone have more perspective on this idea? [/QUOTE]
