SUPPORT LB 335
SHEP:
"LB 335 is a new legislative bill that would allow lawful gun owners to keep firearms in their cars in the parking lot at work even if the employers gun policies forbid it". "If they are ever harmed because they weren't allowed to carry, then they have the right to file civil charges against them".
My place of employment forbids weapons of any sort to be stored/kept in personal vehicles when parked on the property. Because of my career, myself and my co-worker are considered targets to some of Omaha's most morally challenged citizens. Currently when we are off duty, we are "unarmed" when entering the community. I shouldn't have to say that leaving us "unarmed" in the community when we are able to carry concealed, is just wrong. It's pretty clear. This Bill is sponsored by District 44 State Sen. Mark Christensen of Imperial, Nebraska and should be supported by those willing to step forward.

I'm still torn on this. I have the right to possess a gun, and an employer has the right to exclude guns from his property.

I can see your point, but I'm in the same boat as the OP. An employer (and mine gets state and federal dollars) shouldn't be able to keep me defenseless on my way from home to work, or from work to home. That's not ok. Inside the building, if they've paid for it, fine. But in a parking lot... I don't see the justification. The gun will be properly stored in my vehicle.

I find the in-vehicle to be a very happy medium / compromise between the two.
Are there other things your employer can legally subjugate you on concerning the contents of your vehicle ?
