Hi there folks, thank you very much for your kind words and support. The NVFAC has the potential to do good, and it is my opinion that they still deserve our support, but with a guiding hand. Working together is key to improving gun rights, and when we disagree, the only ones we hurt are ourselves. I wanted to provide some additional clarifying details on my response.
There are/were some rights so fundamental that even when the framers wrote the Bill of Rights, it never occurred to them that they should have to enumerate them. The freedom to travel is one of those unenumerated rights, as are the rights of private property ownership. If one right can "override" another right, then there is really no such thing as a right to begin with.
I found it curious that parking lot carry is a higher priority for this session than constitutional carry or campus carry. Today, the worst that can happen to a person who ignores the rules of his employer and leaves a gun in his parked car is that he is fired in the highly unlikely case that his gun is found. On the other hand, carrying a firearm without a government permission slip, or onto a college campus, and you face YEARS of imprisonment! I find the latter to be a far greater cause for alarm to law-abiding gun owners and therefore a much higher priority.
In addition to the above reasons, given the fact that NV is an at-will work state, you can be fired for any reason. Regardless of what the law says, if that same hidden gun is found out, the owner could fire you for smelling bad, coming in late, "poor" work performance, or for any other reason, or no reason at all. This is just feel-good legislation that in reality does very little to actually improve the rights of gun owners.
Lastly, I'm not quite sure that having a gun in a parked car is even definable as self-defense. By definition, self-defense is the use of force to protect oneself from immediate risk of bodily harm. If a situation occurs where a person is able to retreat to the safety of his vehicle, the prudent course of action is to flee the vicinity, not to grab a gun and run back into a chaotic situation where others (including police or other armed citizens) do not know whether you are the shooter or one of the good guys.
