Carry Your Gun to Work?
Legislators and corporate America want to make it legal for your employer to fire you if you have a gun in your car when you come to work.
Not cool. I have a concealed pistol license and use it responsibly. I have the right to have a gun in my car when going to and coming home from work. Take away my right to keep it in my car while at work and you infringe on my right to protect myself on my way home from the office.
The cases I see cited to support this anti-gun movement are being mis-used. The main instance cited is when a Lockheed Martin employee went out to his truck and returned to shoot fellow employees. This guy didn’t go out and get his self-defense pistol, he wielded a shotgun and a semi-auto rifle.
This employee had obviously been building up to this for quite some time. He was not carrying those firearms to protect himself during his commute, and he did not carry this out without forethought. Do you think he was concerned with whether he would be fired for this or not?
A rule banning firearms in trucks would not have stopped this man from doing what he did, it will only prevent law abiding citizens from protecting themselves.
