A very Bad Law

[blue]

I would think those with irrational fears of inanimate objects would be behind a law like this, Im sure the criminals are fully behind this.

I think -- scratch that, I KNOW -- that if one of the other folks working in our building had a gun in the car during the situation I lived through, things would have been a LOT messier than they were. The police took 27 hours, but they talked the guy out, no shots fired. Got him to let his ex wife out after barely 3 hours.

And if that guy killed his wife, and then started on the rest of you one by one, and nobody else in the building had a gun ???? What then ????

We need to stop bringing logic and common sense into this thread.

I know.
But it would make me feel a lot better if I could confront any potential house invaders with something a little more cleaner than my dads Jap sword.
Mind you, I wouldn't mind using the sword, but I think a bullet would be quicker, and less mess to clean up afterwards.

If Liz could, she would vote your right to defend yourself with your dads Jap sword illegal.

Logic and common sense have no meaning to the anti gun, anti self defense agenda.

If that happens....I'll give it up to the authorities.
I do however, have two....the other I will hide

It avoids the idiocy in several cases where employees have been fired for having a gun on company property when all they did was have a gun in their car in the parking lot when they were coming back from hunting.

Oh, I'm sure that happens all the time. First place anyone wants to go after a weekend hunting trip, is work. Geeze. Get real please.

You have no earthly idea what you're talking about.

During hunting season half the maintenance staff is late to work. Why? They hunt in the morning then go to work.

Welcome to rural life.

Don't be putting words in my mouth blue. You don't know anything about
me. The fact is I am a gun owner & am applying for a carry permit. That still
doesn't mean people should be allowed to take a gun to work.

But Liz, don't you think a gun should be where it can provide yourself with the best protection ????

I sure hope they don't have to serve the public. The smell would be pretty strong.

Where would you like me to put your words?

The people who have gone through the hoops to get permited are the ones I want carrying in the work place, not the nut jobs who want to shoot up the place. Besides this law isnt about taking firearms into the workplace, its about leaving them in their vehicles.

Dont you feel more comfortable knowing your coworkers firearms are in their cars while they are working and not on their person?

Out of curiousity, have all of you firearm fearing indeviduals stopped going to Starbucks?

Apperently not.

A just don't think people should ever be in a situation where they
need to carry personal protection 24/7. What kind of society is that?

A business owner should be able to provide a safe working enviroment
to it's employees. He should be able to ban guns in company parking
areas.

Should is the catch word here.
