This is true in Colorado as well...I happen to live here also.In New Mexico your vehicle is an extension of your home.
I recently asked my fav dealer here what the rules were on handguns in the
car...he is very well versed on the Law, as well as having an ex-cop in his employ.
You MAY in the state of Colorado carry a handgun in your car WITHOUT a concealed permit, and I do believe the "Make my Day" law applies to your vehicle as well. The very vague and tricky clause is that you must be "traveling" in some fashion with the handgun in your car.
This is what I understand to be true from: the shop owner, an ex-cop, and a currently serving LEO.
If your company rules prohibit this you are most likely hosed. But there may be the little words "on company property" in there as well.
"Invasion of Privacy" and "discrimination" are also dirty little words in your favor. What I'd do is contact the NRA and find out about a good lawyer in your area and see what will fly or not fly.
Heck, even if they do fire you, maybe you can sue 'em.
