But note the way they handled it -- fired a guy who worked for them for 23 years, when he wasn't even aware (presumably the company didn't even send out a notice about the new policy) of this new policy.
I used to work for Dept of Corrections. When we came to work and came in the main gate, we just gave our guns to the gate guard and they would log them in and give them back at then end of the shift.
No, your vehicle is your property. As long as the employee does not remove the weapon from the vehicle the company should have no say in the matter.
The private vehicles of their employees are NOT their property, as another FReeper pointed out on a different thread.
The employees themselves are not their property either.
Governments are instituted to defend our Rights as Free men, regardless of where the threat comes from. The Oklahoma legislature has not only the power, but also the duty to pass this law.
A corporation cannot infringe upon your basic rights simply because you are invited onto their property.
For those of you that think otherwise, simply take this out to it's logical conclusion. The gov't could simply transfer it's assets, such as roads, etc.... to "private corporations". (Of course, the gov't would still retain control, such as with the airlines). Then this "private corporation" could simply conduct random searches of passenger cars, and even set up checkpoints.
And I suspect that many "free market" posters here would have no problem whatsoever with this.
