So many moral holes in the disarmament argument I don't know why the hoplophobes don't just give up in shame.
What we need to do is be “anti-ACLU”. We need someone subject to such rules, who did not have a gun in their car as they usually would, who was robbed or attacked on the way home, TO SUE. Since companies want to tell you not to have guns in your car in the company parking lot, then they are responsible for your safety going to and from work.
Heard that. Here in Texas it would be virtually imposable for an employer to search your car to the extent of requiring you to open a locked storage box that contained Safety Equipment. Especially if you do not tell ANYONE it is there. A locked storage box like this one.
Glock manufactures some very high quality Safety Equipment. Perhaps that would work in OK?
Anyone that thinks the employer owns the personal auto of another just because it is parked on their property should take this simple test....
Invite anyone to park on your private property and then have it towed away.
You will get sued.
I always compare these policies to an employer banning political or campaign literature in someone’s vehicle. Basically, these rules amount NOT just to workplace rules but make it so employees rights are infringed OUTSIDE of the workplace. It’s akin to saying you can’t bring a crucifix or Torah onto workplace property in your vehicle.
It’s nonsense and the federal rule illegally pre-empts the right of States to pass laws to settle questions like these.
