Hey, Gunny......... I agree, sort of. I firmly believe in private property
rights also. From my personal experience of having to give up my gun toting
during working hours. I think that if the employer wants a gun free
environment they should provide a lock box for those who want to carry to
and from work. (I had to drive nearly 70 miles of interstate one way to get
to work.) The Marines at the gate would confiscate any employees gun they
found and provided no way for you to legally relinquish your firearm at the
gate. For visitors, they would bag and tag firearms to be returned upon
exit. It sort of made us employees out to be second class citizens. Maybe
this law can change some of that "having less rights than other folks simply
because we carry a gun".
