I think they were cases where the vehicles were very close to the crime scene. People would have to use their best judgment about it.
The main point of parking lot laws is not to equip a bunch of Batman wannabees. It is to allow employees to legally transport weapons and defend themselves if need be traveling to and from work.

According to the protocol of non-Batman CHLs, they would run to their car where their .44 Magnum was stored. They would only be interested in saving themselves [and their family] and not go back into a plant where there was a crazy person shooting people.seamusTX wrote:At age 40 to 50, they might go through the so-called midlife crisis, get divorced, change careers, go to an ashram in India, or something.
Unless they have existing problems like depression or alcoholism, they rarely become violent. Even then, they tend to commit suicide and possibly kill family members.
It's more around age 60 to 80 that I see people who have led normal lives go off the deep end due to dementia.In a plant that size, most likely not. I've worked in big plants where I could not have made it from the middle of the plant to my car in the parking lot and back in less than several minutes at my best speed.If everyone there had a .44 magnum locked in their cars in the parking lot, would it have done any good?
And with the cops arriving in a high state of alert ... - Jim
If he did go back and the cops arrived before he shot the BG, he might get shot rather than being able to save a co-worker. Of course, the real Batman would just blind them with a smoke capsule from his utility belt and then lasso them with his silken cord.
Some of this is, of course, tongue and cheek. Some CHLs might run to the parking lot and come back to try to save the lifes of friends. When you have worked at a company for a long time you can have relationships with co-workers that are as close as family.
