If your state requires a permit for carrying a concealed firearm, then it must be complied with. It makes no difference what an employer says; their approval cannot override state law.

The persmission of the owner (of a business or of property) does not trump or overrule state gun laws: a private citizen cannot allow something that is illegal under the laws of his or her state. So if an unpermitted handgun may be not carried concealed in your state, it may not be carried.
