I still want to know what to do with my pistol which I have the "right to carry" when I get to the front gate of the parking lot.

I understand you may prohibit me form bringing it into the building, but my car is my home away from home. Why should you be able to dictate to me what I keep in it.

"Why should you be able to dictate to me what I keep in it."

I don't really want to be able to dictate what you keep in your car. I just want to retain the right to be able to dictate what comes onto my own property, which includes cars and their contents.

FWIW, my opinion is that if as a society we are actually going to trust ourselves to keep and bear arms, and so far, we do, it's still in the BOR, then as employers, we shouldn't worry about our employees being armed. I personally let my (very few) employees bring arms onto my property. If there was one I didn't trust with a gun, I'd let him go rather than tell him to leave the gun at home. Because then trust would be the issue.

More to the point, I worry that large companies who prohibit arms on their property are doing it out of a desire to be politically correct, which is reprehensible. Or maybe they fear lawsuits, which is a comment on the legal profession.

In spite of all that, I don't think government should be given the power to direct property owners in what their employees may bring on the property. Make that strongly don't think.
