Re: priorities

I'm a big believer in private property rights.
But
If I can't carry at work, or at least leave my weapon in my vehicle at work, that effectively disarms me when going to and from work. Most of my errands are run on the way home from or on the way to work. So not having the ability to store a firearm in my vehicle in my employer's parking lot means that I'm disarmed nearly all the time except when I'm at home.
So just get another job.
Jobs aren't all that easy to come buy these days. And it seems that most companies have similar firearms policies. If it were one employer in any given town, I'd say let the employees who disagree with the policy just go elsewhere. But given the propensity for anti-gun policies, it makes a huge dent in our ability to exercise our right to keep and bear arms, even for those who've gone to the trouble of proving their background and their competence to get a CHL. At that point, I think private property rights need to be stepped on a little bit in order to allow the right to be armed for self-defense.
