Good question.

A valid question indeed. Think of an employer parking lot as an apartment complex. Private property, yes. But do the rights of a person who's car is in that parking lot extend to the interior of the car?......just as an apartment dweller have the rights to own what is contained in the apartment she or he rents without further scrutiny from the apartment owner? I am not a lawyer but I believe the law says yes. IMHO, the vehicle becomes the vehicle's owner "private domain", which is his and not subject to the scrutiny to the parking lot owner.

If this is a flawed logic, I do not see it. But it makes sense to me.

I sincerely believe that the only reform we will see in the upcoming legislative session next year will be campus carry and the parking lot bills.

I think we should focus our attentions to these issues exclusively, as any other distraction could quite possibly result in total rejection of any bill that would be introduced, and most likely the loss of these 2 critical issues as well.

We simply cannot have everything we want all at once. Think baby steps.......see my signature line.
