I'M SURE MOST OF YOU ARE WELL AWARE OF GOV. DANIELS SIGNING HB1065 INTO LAW. ESSENTIALLY IT WILL ALLOW PEOPLE WITH VALID CCL'S TO CARRY THEIR WEAPONS TO WORK, SO LONG AS THEY REMAIN LOCKED UP IN YOUR VEHICLE. MY CO-WORKERS AND I HAVE HAD SOME LONG (AND SOMETIMES HEATED) DEBATES ABOUT THIS ISSUE, AND I WOULD LIKE TO GET SOME MORE INPUT. HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT IT? SORRY IF THIS TRHREAD SHOULD BE SOMEWHERE ELSE, I'M NEW TO THIS SITE AND DIDN'T LOOK AROUND LONG FOR A SPOT TO POST IT.
This is a hard one for me. I'm not sure how I feel about it.
On one hand, I hate the fact that my company tells me what I can or cannot have inside of my personal property. If I want to (legally) carry my gun to work, and leave it in my car - that's MY decision, and my boss shouldn't have any say-so in it.
Now.... On the other hand, this is a HUGE slap in the face for Property Owners' Rights. If I work hard, put my money and livelyhood on the line to buy a building and start a company - I don't want CONGRESS, or ANYONE else, telling me what I HAVE to allow on MY property. It's my building, the employees are working FOR ME, and it should be MY decision to allow or restrict firearms on MY PROPERTY.
What if I open a daycare? I don't want guns anywhere near the children I'm legally responsible for, because as we all know - tragic accidents do happen. Life isn't perfect. An employee COULD leave his car unlocked... A childCOULD wander away from watching eyes... you get the point. Who's fault will that be?Indiana's - they didn't let me restrict firearms from being on the premises. The gun owner - she should've locked the gun away. The employee watching the child - he should have been more alert. No matter where the blame was placed it wouldn't make much difference.... the child would still be dead... My business would still be shut down ... anti-gun nuts would still have yet another story to feed their propaganda machine.
I don't know.
I'm happy I can start carrying my gun to work on July 1st though.
I TRULY understand the frustration my employer will feel when they have to ammend their "no weapons on the premises" policy.
Your thoughts?
