This was a bit of a surprise:

There’s a battle looming over your right to take a gun to work. The controversy centers on whether you should be able to leave a firearm in your car. . . . In Texas, businesses have the right to keep concealed weapons out of buildings. Now there’s a move to allow companies to prohibit them from parking lots, too and that has some concealed carriers upset.

FYI: Civilian City of Houston employees are already prohibited from bringing firearms to work, even if left in the car, in the parking lot. It’s a firing offense. That was made very clear to us when the concealed carry law passed. I’ve recently discussed it with co-workers, as to whether we could “get away with it” if we parked on a public street instead of on a city parking lot. We concluded that making our cars more vulnerable to theft (with a gun in it) was probably a bad trade off, but still didn’t like the idea that our employer was essentially denying us the ability to defend ourselves while in transit from home to work.

Needless to say, I’m against yet another effort to gut the Second Amendment.
