Guns and Latte

Good article on gun rights vs. property rights.

Guns in the workplace

Indiana house bill 1065 is expected to pass the House and the Senate today.  All of the Senators and Representatives for the Wabash Valley have already stated their support.  It will be a new law and employers are expected to comply.

I wonder how much more  safe my employees will feel when this bill has passed .  I honestly can so no clear reason to pass this law other than for convenience of those who feel the need to carry a gun.

While I do believe that guns don’t kill people, (people kill people), it seems terribly irresponsible to allow easier options to retrieve a gun from a car and use it.  What is next?  The government will tell me that I as a homeowner have no rights to enforce no guns brought into my own house?

Additionally, as I understand it, the state lawmakers have decided that gov’t agencies in the state are exempt from this law.  You will do as I say and not as I do?

So all in, it appears that the right to bear arms trumped the right to private property.  A poor decision in my opinion.  Property rights are a foundation for this nation.  Right to bear arms is equally important, but I don’t feel should trump the decision of private property.

If you have the same or other thoughts, I welcome the feedback.
