I agree with you.
Way too many employers have these stupid policies, which are a result of court systems not holding miscreants responsible for their actions. The simple fact is, a company's policy is easily ignored and they can't search your person(bags can be checked) so no one is really protected. The person who means harm will ignore the policy AND ignore the law on murder or robbery. Meanwhile the rest of us will be disarmed in the face of such an act or will be fired when we are a FRIGGING HERO!
The use of private regulations is the way the Second Amendment will be made useless. Combine it with the increased technology and soon everywhere you go will be scanning you for weapons and our rights will be lost forever.
Yep. Companies can already run credit reports on you. How difficult would it be for them to determine if you have a CCW 'permit' or not? And then how difficult would it be for them to simply announce a "policy" whereby if you wanted to work there, you had to surrender your permit?
Tyranny is still tyranny, independent of who the "boss man" is. A tyranny ran by multinational corporations (which control the gov't) is no different than a tyranny ran by the gov't (which controls the corporations).
And before you folks start spouting off about "Free enterprise", it simply doesn't exist in this country except perhaps on very small and localized levels.
The gov't and large corporations have become incestously intertwined where one does the bidding of the other, and vice versa. Neither has any loyalty to the Constitution, America, or their fellow citizens.
