Well I certainly agree that property owners have a right to decide what they allow on their property. No reason the employees can't leave the weapon at home. This is not stopping anyone from hunting after work.

The parking lot is the employer's property but isn't the locked trunk the car owner's property? How does my right to have whatever I have in the locked trunk of my car changed simply due to where I have chosen to drive?

[Dog Gone]

This pits the rights of employees to exercise their constitutional rights against employers who ought to be able to fire employees for any reason or no reason at all.

I have to come down on the side of the employers here, even if I disagree with their policy. The Bill of Rights protects you against the government, not other private citizens, including businesses.

I have no problem with this decision. AOL can regulate its workplace as it sees fit.

I also have no problem refusing to buy anything from AOL-Time Warner because of their stupid anti-gun policy.

I'm big on private property and guns. But I think its clear that the property owner controls here. Nobody forced them to work for AOL.

[jwalsh07]

But I would sure like to know how the hell the company knew they had weapons in the trunk.

[Sloth]

The court decision is correct. AOL has the right to control what comes onto their property.

Choosing to exercise their God-given right to prohibit guns simply confirms that they are a desperately evil organization.

IF YOU ARE VIEWING THIS POST VIA AOL, PLEASE TERMINATE YOUR ACCOUNT IMMEDIATELY. OUTDOORS UNLIMITED IS THE OFFICIAL ISP OF THE NRA. http://www.outdoorsunlimited.net

And yes, I was shouting.

[BADROTOFINGER]

In a decision that diminishes rights guaranteed under both the Utah and the U.S. Constitution, the court acknowledged the individual right to keep and bear arms, but said the right of a business to regulate its own property is more important!

So, I wonder if this right extends to business owners whether to allow smoking on their property?...JFK

[Cobra64]

This is beyond belief. Over the top. Un-freekin-believable. AOL just made a huge mistake. Number one, who gives a rip if someone has a weapon in the locked trunk of their car? Second, for AOL to make a "federal case" out of this is bad business. That company hasn't a clue in attracting customers in the first place except for kids who want to 'chat' and go to porno sites. I hate AOL. The ONLY reson I use them is that I travel a LOT and they do have a lot of local dial-ups which I need when working from my hotel. That's it.

Property rights trumps Constitutional rights? Another court gone mad.

[HamiltonJay]

A little biased headline...

AOL can fire employees that bring their firearms onto AOLs property.

As it has always been.. ones 2nd ammendment rights don't trump private property owners rights to say no guns here.

[Torie]

The "solution" is just to park your car off AOL property. Just a thought.

[Tax Government]

Self-defense took a big blow.

False and hypberbolic. Do we expect this from NRA?

[Half Vast Conspiracy]

C'mon. The title isn't even correct.

[pepperhead]

Attention all potential criminals. If your looking to rob or rape anyone wait outside a AOL parking lot and follow your victim when they leave our parking lot. When they stop, do what you will with your victim. And next time your looking for a internet provider remember who disarmed your victims for you.

[BriarBey]

Does this also mean they also own your car once it hits their property? Or they have a right to search your car for what ever reason they trump up? Screw AOL. They will never get my business.

Here's one that'll p**s you off.
