What happens if a company is having Union trouble and fears guns may be used to intimidate, should they have to allow guns in the parking lot?
The truth is that we don't need weapons in the workplace...and we all know this. There are too many nuts out there who would go off the deep end if they were given the pink slip at 3pm...and walk out to the car to get their gun to fix a little problem at the office. Weyerhaeuser may have been within their rights to terminate the guy involved here...I would have preferred a 1-month suspension from the workplace...to drive home the point. They didn't need to fire a good worker. The sad part about this story is that if the worker had parked his car outside of company property...just out on a Oklahoma street...then everything would be ok...and none of this would have come up. Private property....even company property....is left up to the rules established by the company. If they demand that you can't drive your RV into the company lot, then its their right to do so.
In Oklahoma, as long as everyone is allowed to keep their gun in their car, union thugs won't last long trying to intimidate by any means.

What if employees are seeking to from a union and fear company thugs, national guardmens or policemen will be sent to beat or kill them in the parking lot? Shouldn't those employees be able to defend themselves?
Well, how about checking each person or vehicle for a butter knife? Yeah! A butter knife!
A butter knife into the eye socket, deep into the brain would do the same as a bullet!

We're a right to work state. We don't have union problems.
I'm sure managers and strikebreakers would appreciate having the option in that case...
What does that have to do with responsible and legal gun ownership? That's like the old and stupid gun grabber argument that if we let people carry firearms we'll have shoot outs in the street.
