Lawmakers OK guns at work; Portage worker opens fire


Talk about bad timing.

I usually don't agree with much that the Indiana Chamber of Commerce has to say, but on the issue of guns in the workplace I have to agree with the chamber folks -- guns don't belong at work.

A sad story indeed. Explain to me how a "no guns at work" law would have prevented this. See, there are so many other questions to ask and issues to be addressed.

Would this law grant an employer the right to search employees cars? Are we really willing to give up personal privacy rights for a job?

I say again... All the gun laws in the world won't stop this stuff from happening. Because only the law abiding will follow the law. All the emotional "feel good" law in the world won't change it.
