And how upset would they be if, as I pulled in the gate, I handed the guard my weapon and asked for a claim-check?
What do the expect, people to toss it out the window before pulling in off the street?
This is NOT frivolous.
I lived a mile up a dirt logging road, 7 miles from the nearest hamlet, and 25 miles from the hospital in town where I worked. There was always a pistol, and often also a rifle, in the car...I had CCW and a hunting license, and often went shooting, hunting, or fishing after getting off work at 7 AM. A lot of the nurses and techs lived in the boonies, too, and darn sure did not drive to work at 11 pm unarmed, especially not after one was run off the road & raped one night.
What is kept in a locked vehicle is not the employer's business, nor anyone elses, as long as it isn't creating a public nuisance or public hazard.
I second that.
Is Whirlpool going to guarantee the employees' safety to, from, and at work?
How many other rights am I supposed to lose when I enter someone's personal property?
In SC we have shall issue laws, and folks I have worked for have tried to say that we cannot carry guns in our cars.
I say if no one knows what is the issue.
If someone wants to search my car without a search warrant, I may lose my job, but I have my freedoms intact.
I've often wondered, for any legal folks out there, can my car be my property and then become my employers property once I drive onto their lot.
If my car remains my property on thier lot, it seems that I have the right to keep my gun on my property, as long as I am not breaking the law.
