One wonders how many of these job site murders would take place if the perpetrators knew that other workers were armed. I am thinking fewer.
Another part of this story that bothers me is that it says the gun was found behind the workers seat in his car, why were they searching his car in the first place?
And if the company bans me from having a lawfully carried gun in my vehicle, does that mean they are responsible for my safety to and from work? Are they saying I do not have the right to protect myself during my drive to and from work? If I worked at a company with such a policy, and something happened to me where I was injured in any way where having a gun would have prevented it, I would be suing that company to the nth degree.
You have every right to be armed to and from work. As soon as you pass onto private property your right to be armed ends, so have a friend/ spouse drive you to work and pass the weapon off to him/her before entering the company property.
