(Use the following details below to answer the question)

HR fired an employee who is a member of a protected class for telling a coworker that he had an assault rifle in his car and that he was going to make an unpopular coworker pay. The company has an anti harassment policy, but because there have not been issues with guns in the workplace in the past, the company does not have a policy that bans firearms from campus. The HR director is not certain that the employee had a rifle, but no effort was made to find out whether this was true. The employee was fired for making a threat of violence. 

Some weeks later, an employee contacts the HR director to report that a company vice president is in a conference room showing off his handgun to other members of management. The HR director contacts the VP and tells him that he cannot bring a firearm into the workplace. The VP states that the CEO brought a new revolver into the office the previous week and, after showing it to the VP, asked the VP to bring in his handgun so that they could compare firearms. 

The HR director meets with the CEO and explains that management must hold themselves accountable to the same rules that apply to the general workforce, which means no firearms at work, no exceptions. The CEO agrees that guns should be kept at home, but he chides the HR director and states that management frequently has different rules and expectations. He tells her that if she thinks everyone should be treated equally, she should give up her reserved parking place.

Question: The HR director plans to update the company’s no tolerance harassment policy with verbiage banning firearms from the facility and property. All employees will be trained on the changes. Could this provide grounds for the previously fired employee to bring legal action against the company?

What is the best way for the HR director to get support from the CEO and leadership team for a workplace violence prevention policy?
