I hope when a nut job comes out of the woodwork, someone with a concealed weapon takes him/her out.

This columnist needs a concealed brain permit.

If there is such a thing as a retroactive, post-traumatic, primal scream/crawling into a fetal position/whimpering with delayed fear syndrome

Sheesh, get ahold of yourself man - that's embarassing.

Can someone please give this guy a swift kick in the butt?

why can't employers also establish rules governing the presence of lethal weapons on private property?

If you insist on carrying a gun to work and the employer says no, you need to find another job where you can carry a gun to work. Employers have rights too.

The 2nd amendment was meant to regulate the govt. not individual persons.

This clown is obviously not following the instructions on his Prescription bottle....

Repeated brain farts like this may leave him deaf...

Semper Fi

I thought the same thing about the author when I read that.

"This columnist needs a concealed brain permit."

They will need to see their permit to 'aquire' first!

When guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns.

Consider the scenario where an employee has to work late and then is carjacked by armed thugs in the company parking lot as he is leaving to go home. What about the rights of the employee to defend himself on company property? A number of people have been carjacked in affluent parts of the Phoenix suburbs in recent months.

Oh Hell. I thought this was satire!

That fool is serious. The columnist is not in need of a permit for a brain. The columnist is in need of a brain. Sheesh!

Wow.....kinda lost for words,(although my wife claims that NEVER happens.....)...

Thanks for your post CW !! Hard to believe that this guy is THAT worried about EVERY single person he sees that "Might" have a "weapon".

I hope maybe after a long day of paranoia at his puter, his husband will give him a cocktail and a "back rub in the hot tub" to soothe his nerves......

BTTT !!

Politely ask the employer for an exception. If the employer refuses, you can find another job.

Consider the scenario where you can't feed your kids on what an employer pays. Do you want the govt. to mandate a "living wage"?

Consider the scenario where the employer does not offer free health care? Do you want the govt. to mandate that ?

Consider the scenario where the employer does not offer free child care, or a 401 k, or flexible time off, or time off for kwanza ?

For a minute there, I was thinking, "Ruthie's gone over to the Times-Pravda!" I love the part about it being "several years ago" at the Trib--most likely before Sweetie Boy Reid purchased the paper, probably back when the Trib was still pro-American. Those were the days...

What do company pay and benefits have to do with self defense? The right to self defense is inalienable and is not negotiable with anyone. Nobody has the right to say what kind of legal weaponry an employee can keep in his car on company property. Case closed.

Laws against having weapons in a car on company property will never stop anyone who wants to commit an armed felony crime from breaking those laws and committing this crime on company property. Criminals, by definiton, don't care about breaking laws. It's the law-abiding citizen who is hurt by this kind of law because he then cannot defend himself against the criminal.

At the moment, across our fair beloved state, there are 354,552 Floridians with concealed weapons permits walking among us.

Horrors! Horrors!
