A workplace is private property and if the owner doesn’t want guns on their private property then they have every right to ban them. Don’t like it, leave the gun home or find a new job.

My vehicle is not your private property.

My vehicle is not your private property.

Not only that, but the interior of my vehicle is a little bubble of my private property that I can move around with me.

“My vehicle is not your private property.”

Ah Ha! That’s a good point but your car is on company property by invitation only. Even though the companies who lost this ruling are lead by a bunch of idiots who want to make their employees into sitting ducks, I think they should have the right to keep their property gun free.

I guess the response could be, “It’s none of their business what’s in your car.” That’s true but then the reply to that could be, “but it is their business what’s on their property.”

That reminds me of The Two Towers when Gandalf, Gimli, Legolas, and Aragon go to Meduseld and the guards make them give up their weapons. They were none too happy.

“I would do as the master of the house bade me, were this only a woodman’s cot, if I bore now any sword but Anduril.” (p.533)

You're absolutely right. OTOH You dont have an inherent right to park it on someone elses property. If you want to use their private parking lot, then you follow their rules. If you cant handle that then you have the freedom to park elsewhere or look another job.

As to the argument regarding safety, it comes down to basic laws of supply and demand. Jobs are getting more and more scarce, if you want one then you have the option of making the sacrifice in regards to your safety or they will give the job to someone else who is willing to make it.

Just as in the basic laws of supply and demand, if no one is willing to pay the price required to get the job, the the company will have to change the terms of the agreement if they want workers.
