They can't arrest you but they absolutely can fire you if it's against policy to have a otherwise legal concealed carry kept in your car on company property.

Re: Standard Poodles...Now With A Pic.....
Used to be a rabbit, squirrel or anything dog, too old to care anymore.
He would chase them but once they crossed the road he would dead stop, simply won't (still won't) go on the street.
I open the back door and he wanders around and after he visits every tree he comes back.
