"Workers are being fired for having guns locked in their cars, whether for personal protection, or to go hunting or target shooting after work," he writes. "Workers, like the single mother with an abusive ex, who comply with these rigid policies [and] are forced to decide between their paychecks and their safety." But before skeptics can submit that the single mother is probably more interested in seeing the abusive ex disarmed than herself armed, Cox finds a new group.

"And now, corporate lobbyists in Florida have defiantly told legislators that they can even ban Bibles from workers' cars."

Guns... hmmmm.

I'll stick up for people's right to bear arms. It's their right. I'm personally opposed to owning a gun myself, but that's just my personal philosophy and I'd rather not impose that on anyone else. However, It seems silly and a slight bit irresponsible to me for someone to keep their gun locked up in a car where it could quite easily be stolen. A good friend of mine was recently visited by the FBI in regards to a handgun that was stolen from his apartment nearly a year prior and was later identified as to have been utilized in several violent crimes including two bank robberies he of course had nothing to do with. Of course, it took a while to get sorted out and my friend thoroughly enjoyed the vicious nature of his own interrogation by agents who couldn't figure out why a black man would report his gun stolen months ago and still have nothing to do with the crimes that were commited with it much later when it was discovered in a suspect's possession. I don't foresee anybody with a gun locked in their car actually running out to get it and promptly turning around to run back inside to defend everyone when an unforeseen incident necessitiates it... hell, if you made it to the car -you might as well safely drive away! But, maybe there are some NRA members that could actually get the chance to play hero and who'd actually manage to pull it off. Seems more likely they'd just get into a bind with the local cops on a traffic stop than they would successfully engage another gun wielder in a really cool shoot'em up until the cops arrived... I think it's likelier that someone would get so pissed off and snap at work and THEN take a trip to their car to grab a weapon instead of the chance they might come to their senses and cool off on the drive home for it...

The scariest thing about all this is: what gives a business the right to search a vehicle?

"First They Take Your Gun;

When Bush came to Canada the last time he turned and told the Canadian PM it's good to be home

Clue

America will not only lose all rights to guns they will lose the constitution

no matter which candidates you chose no difference save perhaps Ron Paul Denis kucinich

Canada will lay down the law under the North American Union

don't fret we'll make sure the streets are safe ,no guns allowed.

Prepare to be boarded by crack Polish Blackwater troops ,who shoot first and don't ask questions ever

FIRST THEY TAKE YOUR GUN

JUST WONDING HOW WILL THEY GET ALL OF OUR GUNS, HOUSE BY HOUSE OR WILL YOU HAVE TO TURN THEM IN. I JUST HOPE THERE ARE ENOUGH PATRIOTS OUT THERE TO STAND STRONG, RIGHT NOW THIS SEAMS LIKE OUR LAST FREEDOM LEFT. I WANT TO FEEL SECURE IN MY HOME, AND PROTECT MY FAMILY, NOW WITH A RESESSION HANGING OVER OUR HEADS, PEOPLE WILL DO THING THAT THEY WOULD'NT NORMALY DO WHEN THING GET TOUGH.

Richard,

They actually did a practice run during Katrina. National Guard house to housing it... in the midst of the disaster when nobody was really prepared to resist! If you'll remember -Blackwater was there too. Excellent testing ground for that type of trial run.

GOOD POINT, HOW MANY BLACKWATER WILL THEY NEED FOR THE HOLD U.S., MY LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT ARE NOT GOING TO TAKE THEIR FRIENDS GUNS IN THIS SMALL TOWN, AND I DON'T THINK BLACKWATER WOULD EVER COME HERE. THAT WORKED IN ONE SMALL AREA, BUT WE ARE TALKING 150 MILLION HOMES + OR - YOU WILL HAVE COME UP WITH SOMETHING BETTER.
