The city, county nor the state governments should have any right imposing no smoking prohibitions on any owner of a restaurant or bar. It's the owners property and they should set the rules.

Do you feel the same about a state law that forces private employers to allow their employees to carry a firearm onto the employer's property? I only ask because to me the argument is the same in both situations, yet many Freepers who oppose govenment regulation of smoking on private property don't seem to have a problem when the issue concerns firearms.

Let's see. How many folks do you know who have died from second hand smoke? It's a bunch of BS! Guns don't kill, people do. Apparently, given your question or statement about carrying direarms to work, you don't think people should. Good for you! I hope the police in your community don't carry guns! One thing your argument lacks is, common sense!

The best approach with firearms in the workplace is "don't ask - don't tell".

There's a precedent.
