Hmm, no... It's their property... what the laws of the state and the constitution of the nation say goes. They can't make murder legal on their property. They cannot declare themselves a tax-free zone. They cannot sell alcohol without a proper permit. It doesn't matter that it's THEIR property.

Again, no... they cannot have conditions of employment that are in conflict with our rights and freedoms. This is, literally, no different than saying a company can have a "condition of employment" that you can't be black or asian or female. It's a federally protected, constitutional right.

That isn't an issue with this... that is an issue with the way judges allow the legal system to be maniuplated. Sadly we live in a very litigious society right now. But honeslty, the law would (should) hold the gunman responsible, not the company.

Iīd say donīt bring a gun to work but you should be able to keep a gun in your car when you stop at a supermarket or gas station on your way to a hunting trip.

It's not about NEEDING to carry a gun... it's about being ALLOWED to.
