I, for one, and for now, share Purplehood's sentiments.Purplehood wrote:I for one, am happy to see a Federal Agency specifically stating that it is not going to try and trump State laws, or the Constitution, as was mentioned in the letter.
HOWEVER, in reading the entire OSHA text, one can get a very aprehensive feeling. OSHA regulations are NOT laws passed by elected officials. OSHA really answers to no one when it comes to issuing edicts. While it CURRENTLY seems to be populated with reasonable people who are not rabidly anti-2nd Ammendment, that could change if the current administration appointed strongly anti-gun officials to OSHA. They might then decide that firearms in the parking lot DID constitute a serious ongoing hazard and that it DID create an employer obligation to mitigate the hazard.
All it would take would be a few wrong people appointed to this body which is not directly accountable to any voter.
Now, THAT, would be a rat's nest.
