As an aside, Conoco / Phillips is very anti- 2nd. They fired many employees for legally possessing firearms stored and locked in their personal vehicles after a "tip" and conducting (what I consider illegal) searches of said vehicles.

FWIW, I prefer to buy from Shell and Mobil. They both use oil from the Americas (Venezuela and Alaska).
At least I know they aren't stabbing me in the back.
And I heard that also about Conoco. Public parking lots, definitely ILLEGAL searches. They can keep their oil and gas.
Are they public lots? I know that a lot of our offices we own the land. So, our lots are company owned. Therefore you need to follow the same rules in the lots as you do in the office.

They were on premises. However, a locked personal vehicle is an extension of ones home and persoanl property. This is were some are trying to create a grey area that does not exist.
While most of us are diligent to the erosion of our 2nd Amendment rights, few of us realize the ongoing erosion of our 4th.

As well as, random DUI check points. Again, SWAT magazine, a pro LEO publication, spoke of the unConstitutionality of this and drug dogs being allowed to sniff (search) your vehicle.
Just because SCOTUS rules against the true meaning of the Constitution doesn't make it "legal". Can anyone say, "Imminent Domain"?
Geez,I paid 2.87 this morning.

DUI checkpoints. Very TIGHT restrictions on them in Vermont. They've been found in violation of the State Constitution, but are allowed under the guise of "Safety Checks" with very heavy restrictions as to where, how, how often, and which cars to stop.
Needless to say, if you're in VT on a Fri or Sat evening and have a light out, you WILL get stopped, if seen.
"Imminient Domain". Thanks to the help of the original Liberal (from NY, no less), FDR. He helped set that up in the 1930's, believe it or not.
SCOTUS upholding the Constitution?
We all do know that NFA 1934, GCA 1968 and several other "laws" are clearly unconstitutional, right?
In fact Federal Income Tax isn't completely Constitutional.
Sorry, you're right. One thing relevant is taxes, especially punitive taxes.
I also saw a reference to gas taxes being percentage. Wrong, I believe, they're priced per gallon, not by percentage.

IIRC, the lots were company owned, but parking was not limited to employees and customers/visitors, so pretty much anyone would legally park there. The real stink for Conoco/Philips came about when they filed suit to overturn the Oklahoma law that removed any legal sanctions for violating company "no guns" signs/rules. Not content to fire people, it seems they also want to have them jailed.

I just checked their website, no stations in New England.
They are very popular in other parts of the Country however.
