Just tuned in. The host is discussing the legality of business owners prohibiting firearms at work, even when locked in the car in the parking lot.

I think it is unfortunate when it is anti gun but I'm OK with property owners being allowed to set their own rules.
In Kansas, Oklahoma, and Florida, the determination has been conclusively made that the employer's property rights stop at the employee's vehicle without regard to where the vehicle may be parked during working hours.
I finally made it through to talk to Dan Rea after an eternity of busy signals. Unfortunately I didn't get as much time as I wanted, he prefaced my call saying he needed to keep it short. I did point out how naive the views of some of the callers are that don't believe in people carrying at all, that if you need the police to respond with their sidearms, you're already out of time, which Dan agreed. I also said that I didn't feel employers had the right to restrict employees carrying concealed as ultimately it IS infringing on a persons rights under the 2nd amendment, there's where he argued with me. I tried to analogize (sic?) that it would be similar to him (as the employer) restricting certain things people may say at work, infringing on their 1st amendment rights. I did the best I could with the short time he was giving me, wish I had more time.
There's plenty of time for workplace carry to evolve into being accomodated, if not mainstreamed.
I like this; "Bring a gun to work day."
Only partialy. These states have laws that protect the right of an employee to have a gun in the car, but do not necessarily protect the employee from termination if (s)he refuses a search of the car for prohibited items not protected by state law.
Since the context of this discussion are firearms, the qualification need not be made.
I have worked for bosses that the last thing they wanted to hear was the truth.
