I have no problem with this decision.

I do. AOL is *not* an individual. They are a corporation, which by it's very existence is meant to separate the individuals running the company from the corporation, in a legal sense. You can't have individual Rights, without the responsiblities that come with those Rights. Corporations want it both ways, and many so-called "conservatives" want to give it to them.

AOL can regulate its workplace as it sees fit.

No they can't. There are thousands of federal laws that see to this. If every other group gets "protection", then gunowners and others who wish to have privacy insofar as their private vehicle is concerned, might as well jump on the bandwagon.

There is no federal or Utah law requiring employers to allow employees to bring guns onto company property.

Whether there should be a law is a separate question. As long as there isn't one, I have no problem with AOL saying you can't bring guns on their property.

Now, I think their rule is stupid. And I have every right not to watch CNN or buy their other products. It won't be much of a loss.
