I carry my gun in my vehicle to work in Texas everyday. And there's a sign at the parking lot entrance which tells me I can't.

Legally, they're right. It's their property and they can restrict anything they want.

But they don't have the commute I have to get to their property. If they find out and choose to fire me, so be it.

I would argue that legally (and morally), they are *wrong*. One reason government created corporate law was to allow for low-cost, mass production. They did not create corporate law to allow a bunch of nosy gun-grabbers to violate indiviudal Rights under color of law.

It's their property and they can restrict anything they want

Can they restrict workers over 60, or black Jewish women? I didn't think so....

If corporate control freaks want to dictate the lives of their workers, they should surrender their corporate charter (and all the tax and other benefits to go with it) and operate as a sole or joint propriortorship. Let them succeed or fail without government support, just like the workers they want to control must do.

"Company parking lots" are private property. Why is the NRA advocating the expansion of unconstitutional government power on private property?

Most employees in large companies are required by local governments to park in company lots.

A ban on guns in their cars is a defacto prohibition on their RKBA's.

Its a wise decision, especially seeing that no individuals 'private property' right is being violated.
What's 'private' about a parking lot?
