Recently the National Rifle Association has been lobbying for states to pass laws forcing private companys to allow firearms on their property. They feel that a gunowner should at least be allowed by his employer to keep a gun in a locked compartment in his own vehicle.
Constitutional rights apply to the relationship between the individual and the government, not between labor and management. When a guy exercises his First Amendment right to call his boss a jackass to his face, he usually gets fired for it. Likewise, the right of private business to restrict workers, venders, and customers from bringing guns onto the property should be upheld.
I am with you Robert.
ReplyDeleteI am in favor of guns. I am not in favor of forcing employers to allow their employees to keep guns on company property.
Once we allow laws forcing independent business to relinquish their rights it will only lead to more violations of our freedoms. If you want to carry the gun and have a permit that’s fine, just don’t park on your employers’ property - park across the street.
ReplyDeleteOne alternative; Get a Taser
If you can get sued for stunning a person with a Taser, you can be sued for shooting them. But self-defence usually works in civil cases as well as it works in criminal cases.
