Constitution

Vicki accepted a management position at Dunavant Enterprises, a distribution center for construction machinery parts.When arriving for work on the first day, Vicki noticed a sign that states weapons, including handguns, are not permitted anywhere on the employer's premises.While completing her new hire paperwork, Vicki sees the same information about weapons being banned from company property in the employee handbook.The employee handbook informs employees that the company reserves the right to search persons, vehicles, and other property.Vicki has a permit to carry a handgun and it is currently locked in her vehicle in the parking lot.Vicki signed the acceptance of the terms of the handbook; however, she had no intention of leaving her gun at home.

Three weeks later, briefcases, purses, and vehicles were randomly searched by Dunavant's Security Department.When the officers found the loaded gun under the seat of Vicki's car, she was terminated.
