A very Bad Law

[lizbud]

I am 44 years old, something I don't like to publically admit (j/k, kind of). In 44 years, I have never felt the need to bring a gun to work, or anywhere else. I did have a pocket knife on my key chain once. That thing was so handy, too. But, a gun? Never.

I feel the same way and am amazed & kinda shocked that some people
are so afraid for their very lives & must have access to a weapon at all times.

I really see this bill as a unwelcome denial of property rights.

That is not even close to why I carry a gun. It has nothing to do with fear.

I can see this being true. The problem is such a law will not have the desired effect.

WE don't really need a law. The people who want to carry a gun on to
a Company parking lot, should just park some place else, off the Company
property. Nobodys rights will be violated.

This guy...

"angry worker at the Department of Workforce Development in Portage walked out to his car, grabbed a 12-gauge shotgun, and fired into his office,"

could have been parked on the street it doesnt say in the article.

Company parking lot or parked at the curb, opposing this law will not stop workplace shootings.

Opposing this law is a feel good measure, thinking you've done something. In reality you are only helping create more victims.

I get the property rights aspect of this, I do. Heck, I even agree!


It does create a interesting dilemma however. Does my employer have the right to deny me my right to defend myself? Probably so I guess. But it is the height of paranoia for a employer to think that preventing gun posession on their property will prevent crazy people from doing what they do.

Again, because only the law abiding obey the law...
