Letter to Cincinnati Enquirer

Cincinnati Enquirer asked readers to respond to questions relating to the rights of citizens with concealed weapons permits. One question was, "Should employers be allowed to prohibit employees from having guns locked in their vehicles in company parking lots?"

My response, as published on 16 February:

To allow employers to prohibit employees from keeping guns locked in vehicles on company parking lots is to allow employers to deny employees the right to carry. Employees would have to leave their guns at home. Prohibition against guns in parking lots does worse than nothing to protect the workplace from an employee bent on murder. It guarantees all other employees will not have ready access to defense. The best defense against a crazy person with a gun is a sane person with a gun.
