"Thus, there is a powerful conflict between the employer's property right to prohibit guns on its parking lots and the employees' rights to their own personal safety."

An employer's "right to prohibit guns in his parking lot" is an extension of THEIR right of self-defense, you may not agree with their notion that no guns provides for a safer environment, but you don't get to violate his personal right to set the course for what he believes is the best way to achieve personal safety on his own property, anymore than he gets to tell you that YOU can't have guns in your own house.

By the way, don't post that ridiculous argument about your car being your property, it's parked on HIS property, which means that you have transported a gun on to his property against his wishes.

See the well made points at #96.

Ones that unreasoning opponents will be sure to ignore.

An employer can also try to protect its property rights by blocking legally required fire exits and prohibiting employees from carrying fire extinguishers and prescription medications in their cars. All states and municipalities consistently regulate employers' use of their property in the interest of public health and safety. Requiring them, for the same reasons, to allow their legally licensed employees to keep guns in the employees' vehicles is no different, particularly because such licensed carry has consistently reduced crime wherever it has been implemented.
