If an employer can't fire an employee for a religious or political bumper sticker displayed openly on a car (1A) then they definitely shouldn't be able to fire employees for a gun hidden in a car (2A) in the same parking lot.Winchster wrote:Ok, so I am probably going to offend quite a number of people with this question, but I ask in all sincerity.
How do you square a parking lot bill with property rights? On the one hand, the car is MY personal property, on the other the parking lot is my employers personal property. Seems to me that since I'm placing my property on his property, that his right trumps mine.
Also, if you believe in property rights, then the employer has no right to search inside the employees' cars, although they would still have the right to observe bumper stickers and other displays that are in plain view.
