Actually, I don’t mind a private employer forbidding firearms on their property. I see that as an enforcement of private property rights. If I don't want you on my home with a firearm, I should have the right to enforce that provision.

However, there are to caveats:

1) The employer has no right to forbid firearms inside the person’s car as that is their private property.

2) The employer assumes full responsibility for their disarming policies. By that, I mean that if an employer chooses to require the disarming of employees, then they employer is LIABLE for any and all damages resulting from their failure to secure the employee from harm.

"1) The employer has no right to forbid firearms inside the person’s car as that is their private property."

Until the employee drives onto the private property of the employer. Check your guns at the factory gate, my friend.

"2) The employer assumes full responsibility for their disarming policies."

No can do. The employer is simply following OSHA safety guidelines (federal law) which says that the presence of guns represent a hazardous working environment.

Demonstrate that the presence of guns actually contributes to worker safety and watch the fun and games begin as it will then be a federal requirement to arm yourself at work!
