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 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.

I think you summed it up perfectly & I agree. I feel the same way about smoking, by the way. If a business wants to ban smoking, allow it, or have sections, they should be able to do so. I only support a smoking ban in places where citizens have no choice but to go (courthouses, DMV, government offices).
