Legal Carry ???

[Podunkadunk]

Government property, private corporation property...what's the difference, well, besides "Deadly Force Authorization"?

Getting courtsmartialed versus merely losing your job? Virtually everything about an individual's life is controlled in the military, not so in civilian life. In civilian life, you don't need a pass to go to town.

The carrying comparison isn't valid.

I disagree, but hey, it's all good

Oh by the way, you don't need a pass to go to town anymore in the military, that's old, old school. Only bootcampers in their last week before graduation and recruits still in technical school need authorization to leave post and still, that's the exception, not the rule.

Real old school...probably ended in the 50's.

My last job in WV had a policy of no guns allowed at work, UNLESS you had a CCW permit. How's that for forward thinking! I commented to the HR lady about it, she said she always carried hers!

In MS, your car is your property, so you don't have to have a permit to carry a loaded gun around with you. Not too much horn honking and finger waving down here!

Unfortunately, that's seems to be where a lot of company rules/regulations are derived from....the personal philosophy of the HR director, etc.

For example, my benevolent employer, whom it seems everybody thinks we don't dare name on the internet, but if you look at your home thermostat and it says "Honey_ _ _ _" --no wait, that's too descriptive, if it says "H_ _ _ _ well" on it--then you'll know who they are, their policy is to not allow firearms for sale on the company want ads. Since when did the sale of firearms become illegal? It used to be OK, but then a along came a change of HR directors, and apparently that person is so anti-gun that they decided to "do their part" to make the world a safer place. Who knows, maybe it will change back when this director hits the road for greener pastures, but I doubt it.

Sounds like the same thing might be occurring at the OR's place of employment.

We all have the option of voting with our feet if we don't agree with our employer's policies and if enough people left, they'd get the message. But, not many people are really passionate about carrying a gun to and from work, myself included. Traveled successfully so many times without one that I just can't convince myself that I need to be armed to get back and forth to a job.

Not true. I went in during the 60's and got out in the 70's, they still had them. While permanent passes were the rule, you still technically needed them. More to the point, the military can and still does confine people to base. Civilian employers don't have that kind of power.

One can argue that the G'vment/Others should not be able to tell a property owner how to use/control their property.

But the camel herd got into the tent along time ago regarding the G'vment telling property owners what to do. Business property owners have lots of rules/laws imposed on them by the state.

Off hand I can think of the following that tells business property owners what they can and can do.
- Zoning.
- Environmental rules/regulations.
- Building Codes
- Fire Marshal.
- Handicap parking spaces.
- Handicap facility access(Bathrooms, desks, elevators, etc)
- OSHA.
- No smoking rules.
- Civil Rights.
- Maintance.
- Signage.

One may argue that this should not be but it is an is.

And many intems in the list above puts the property owner last in importance. The user/employee/customer is at the head of the list.

Heck, in many counties in NC, OTHERs may hunt on private property without permission if the land is not posted!

Our local newspaper won't allow the sale of 'assault weapons' weapons. Boy if that ain't a weird one..

That does not surprise me one bit. Some papers ban all types of ads that they think might be controversial with a significant number of their readers. With newspaper ad revenue in a nose dive, they don't want to offend anyone.

I went in in 1969...never needed a pass once out of Boot and "A" school. This was Nav Air, which may have been more liberal then black shoe Navy.

'Assualt' weapon is such a grey term... apparently only the clintons know exactly what one is.. cause everything else falls under pistol, rifle and shotgun ( and NFA weapons... which i don't expect to see for sale int he paper anyway.. ).
