When you say "when" to carry do you mean they are going to try and tell us when we can and cannot carry a firearm???

It aired right after I posted. The segment debated public access parking lots and private parking lots of companies and if employees should have the right to keep guns in their cars in the parking lots.

Former Congressman Bob Barr augured that if the parking lot is public access people should have the right, and a former FBI special agent said people should not have that right, since it would be easy to access the gun, and in an event of a work place shooting, it would cause undue confusion to law enforcement trying to figure out who was the good guy and who was the bad guy.

Both agreed that if the parking lot was restricted access only for employees of a particular company, people should not have the right to keep guns in their cars while in the parking lot.

I was thinking it was easy to tell if when the good guys don't have guns. The bad guys are the one standing, and the good guys are the ones laying down with gun shots.

I missed it, anyone record the show?

This wasn't the story about the Roanoke Times was it? When / where to carry sounds like a diff story.

If anyone recorded it I can turn it into a youtube vid.

No, this story had nothing to do with the Roanoke times issue.
