Boeing allows firearms in vehicles (Washington only). Boeing has updated the PRO-6102 Exceptions List for Washington as follows:

An employee may possess any of the employee's private property within the employee's vehicle, unless possession of such property is otherwise prohibited by law. Any lawful weapon must be locked in the employee’s vehicle and concealed from view. Persons are prohibited from possessing weapons in Boeing owned/leased vehicles or outside of a personal vehicle on Boeing’s premises.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

• Revised Code of Washington Sec. 49.44.230
  A new law went into effect in Washington State in July 2023 that does two important things: (1) it allows employees to have in their personal vehicle parked in a Boeing parking lot/garage any property that they lawfully possess (including weapons), and (2) limits when an employee’s car can be searched. The new law applies to Washington State only.
• Can an employee have a handgun/pistol in a personal vehicle when parked on Boeing property?
  A lawfully possessed handgun/pistol may be stored in an employee’s personal vehicle, so long as the handgun/pistol is not visible and the vehicle is locked.
• Can a visitor or non-Boeing employee have a handgun/pistol in a personal vehicle when parked on Boeing property?
  No.
• Can Boeing search an employee’s personal vehicle on Company property?
  • Boeing can search an employee’s personal vehicle when a reasonable person would believe that accessing the vehicle is necessary to prevent an immediate threat to human health, life, or safety.
  • Boeing can ask for consent to search an employee’s personal vehicle when there is probable cause to believe that the employee illegally possesses in the vehicle Boeing property (i.e., stolen Boeing property).
  • Boeing can ask for consent to search an employee’s personal vehicle when there is probable cause to believe that there are drugs that are illegal under state law or federal law (including marijuana).
• How must an employee store their lawfully authorized handgun/pistol in a personal vehicle?
  A handgun/pistol must be out of view in an employee’s locked vehicle.
• Can an employee remove or possess outside of a personal vehicle a handgun/pistol or any other lawfully possessed items if they stay in the parking lot?
  No. The law only permits lawfully possessed items in an employee’s personal vehicle. All items prohibited by Boeing’s policies, including handguns/pistols, may not be removed and must remain in the vehicle.
• Can an employee bring a weapon into a Boeing owned or leased building or anywhere on property outside of their personal vehicle?
  No.
• What happens if a handgun/pistol is visible in an employee’s personal vehicle?
  Boeing will contact the employee and suspend them pending the outcome of an investigation. Boeing may call law enforcement.
• Is Boeing going to change externally posted signs in Washington State to reflect the new law?
  Yes, Boeing is in the process of updating the externally posted facility signs.
• What if I have questions that are not included in these FAQs?
  Employees may submit questions to the Boeing Security mailbox

WCAN Discount Policy Change. West Coast Armory North has changed its policy on range membership discounts. As a result of one of our members being denied a discount, BEEGC inquired about the current policy. The response was:

Our Discounts apply to some groups of people that provide a service to the community such as Law Enforcement/Military and EMS, (with some restrictions)

It no longer includes Boeing. (Gun club members or employees)
