the policy at my job is you cannot have a loaded weapon in your vehicle, however hunting weapons are ok as long as they are unloaded and are not removed from the vehicle. Since the .44 mag is considered a hunting cartridge, i think my ruger redhawk is ok.

 

I got the cards and did not send them in for exactly this reason. I called the NRA and let them know that I was not happy with their stance on this. The last thing this country needs is another court decison that erodes property rights even further - anyone remember the recent Supreme Court decision that allows local govt. to take your land to let a company build a store?

The Weyerhauser guys did get a raw deal if what the NRA says is true, that the company had no written policy about firearms in employee vehicles. It sounds like a lawsuit an average ambulance-chaser could win, I don't think the NRA needed to get involved.

 

I am a Weyerhaeuser employee and they have had a written firearms policy for a long time. What's the big deal??

It is their property and as an employee, one is subject to certain company guidelines. I doubt its because they hate guns, more likely its to avoid some type of litigation.

If you have a lot of heartburn over this one, you might want to blame the liberal courts, ACLU, liberal press, tree huggers, and so on.

We live in a society controlled by the lawyers NOT the voters. In my long tenure with the company just about everything that was american is now not allowed.

... end of rambling.

 

Grant, i think you are right.

the more i think about some loony having a gun out in his car, the more i wonder.

the difference of a "normal" person having a "deer gun" to go hunting after work,
and a "loony" with a "handgun" or something?
how can a company tell?

it seems more like weyerhauser was correct in theory, but maybe overzealous, due to your well put points:
i kinda sent my cards off to show that the NRA is trying to prevent "everything that was american is now not allowed."

i want NRA to save some goodness of American freedom for our grandkids.
but sometimes, they go overboard too. best we can do is pray about it.
