(17,671 posts)It's a pretty flexible standard. Your employer doesn't have the right to tell you what to have stored in your own property no matter where you park it.
Every square inch of this country belongs to somebody. The difference between your driveway and your employer's parking lot is that employees are required to be on that lot. If somebody would prefer have a gun in the car to the pleasure of your company, they can simply leave. But the logistics of having a gun out of a car but not on the employer's lot would require the employee to go and get it on their own time, for which the employer would not pay. Not to mention the fact that they may have to drive through some pretty horrible neighborhoods at some pretty horrible times of the night to do so, or have you never had to work third shift in a factory on the wrong side of town? It's standard corporate risk dispersion at the expense of the 99%. Funny how slavish devotion to ideology can jump up and bite you on the ass, ain't it?
