One person’s rights end where another person’s rights begin.
The juncture of that ending and beginning may be a conflict of rights. An organized society has laws and courts and such to settle such conflicts. But in this case, what is the conflict? How does possession of a firearm on an employers property adversely affect his rights, providing the firearm is not seen and more particularly, not heard.
You should have the right to state the rules for your own property. If a worker doesn’t like the rules, (s)he can work somewhere else. Pretty simple.
Others have noted, but parking lot are generally considered open public areas. But the other point is - just HOW is a weapon locked up in a vehicle negatively impacting your business?
Or do you prefer having to wait for police to finally show up while a deranged individual shoots up the place, and those who could have retrieved their weapons couldn’t because you banned them (check the news - this has happened).
