“We’ve had dust ups around here between employers and employees over bumper stickers on cars in the employer’s parking lot.’
Are there ‘dustups’ in other locations off site? yes there are. IMO the only semi-valid reason to ban weapons is liability. If an employer bans guns onsite then its harder to sue them. I think employers should be sued for banning guns onsite and not allowing employees to protect themselves.
I disagree. It is private property after all.
The solution is, to change the wording of your sentence a little:
I think employers who ban weapons should be held responsible if anything happens because they didin't allow their employees to protect themselves.
This is AFTER the incident no doubt, but after one or two such incidents the word is out and the private property ower/employer will be forced to address this in a more reasonable manner that they are now.
That's a better solution thatn to strip even more rights from property owners.
