To a few 'businessmen', politicians, bureaucrats and some people on this forum, -- gun owners who carry while going to & from work are second class, or less equal citizens.
Your mysticism causes you to create a mind- spun fabrication that a business owner's property rights are different than the homeowner's property rights. That's where the second-class citizen, less than equal citizen phrase got it's meaning.
Who forced you against your will to work for the employer whose rules/policy you disagree with? Nobody. That's what I thought. Nobody is forcing you to drive to and from work without a gun. If you drive to and from work without a gun that is your choice. You made the choice to work for the employer according to the rules of the agreement that both of you agreed to. No second class citizen there. Both of you are equally free to say no and not enter into agreement.

The article outlines the constitutional position, not "mysticism" :
"-- Businesses are prohibited from discriminating because of race, age, sex, religion, nationality, etc. And clearly they are also prohibited from discriminating against those who exercise their right to keep and bear arms for personal protection and other lawful purposes like hunting and target shooting.
Individual constitutional and legal rights do not end when we drive onto a business parking lot. Simply put, business property rights do not trump the Constitution or the law.
State legislatures have a duty to protect the constitutional rights of individuals from abuses. They must act as a shield to protect constitutional rights of the people; they also must act as the point of a sword to punish those who violate our inalienable rights.
That is at the heart of this debate. --"

Who forced the employer to make a 'rule' that contravenes our right to carry arms in our vehicles? -- That's what I thought, -- Nobody.

Our basic agreement was made over 200 years ago. We the people have a right to carry arms.
You are free to say no and not enter into that agreement.
