When you find out, let me know..
Looks like the private property/business lobby has it over
gun rights lobby when it comes to weapons at work, etc.
This was brought up stemming from the results of the
OK matter where a number of employees were fired
when weapons were found in their vehicles. >

After the Oklahoma incident, the legislature there passed a similar statute preventing companies from adopting no-gun rules. Several large companies, including ConocoPhillips, filed a federal lawsuit challenging the law. There has been no decision in the case. Virginia senators said delaying the bill until next year would give time for the court to rule.

Sad to hear this... :( I had high hopes for this here in Virginia...

Does this mean the Second Amendment is only applicable inside your home? Sure sounds like it!
