"Gov. Sonny Perdue indicated Tuesday morning his opposition to the National Rifle Association's attempt to pass legislation allowing Georgians to have guns in their cars at work."

Thanks Pudgy Perdue. Way to uphold and solidify the 2nd Amendment. His argument is that allowing citizens to keep guns in their car infringes upon employers property rights. Well, MY car is an extension of MY home. Therefor, while MY car is parked in the employers public access lot I have a little personal property bubble floating around my car. But that's just how I see it.
In case you don't know, your car is an extension of your home, or your personal property of which in Georgia, we have the right to defend with deadly force. The "Castle Doctrine" allows us to do this. So, if in other laws our cars are considered a stretch of our home, and we can defend our "castles" with deadly force, I ask you this Perdue...why can we NOT defend our cars (in which case we are usually defending our lives) with deadly force too?
Perdue obviously felt the pressures of liberal and anti-gun business leaders on this one. In the past, Georgia has always been considered, like Perdue said, a "friend" of the NRA. Looks like we just pissed of a friend.

What I don't understand is how they even know that you have a gun unless you go running around the office broadcasting it. Hell just keep it in your car and don't tell anyone.
Exactly. But I think they fear the situation where if somebody is forced to use a firearm in defense while on their employers parking property that the employer might sue even though the person who used the fiream used it under civil and legal terms. I mean, all they need to do is drive over towards the Turner/CNN employee parking in the pit and they would change their mind.
don't you think your license to carry (as relating to vehicles, etc.) would supercede anything having to do with the employer's rights? i must admit i don't know a whole lot about this subject but it seems that your car, being your personal property, would exempt it from anything having to do with the *location* of said property. i guess kind of like what you're saying about the castle extension or whatever. :)
Yes...as far as I'm concerned my personal property rights supersedes my employers wish to have no guns in their parking lots.
