[QUOTE="soberups, post: 495682, member: 14668"] Assuming for the sake of argument that I did keep a gun in my car--which I dont---the company would not have any right to search my car without my permission---which I would refuse to give. They could ask the police to search my car, but without probable cause of criminal activity they would not have the right to do so, either. And since it is perfectly legal for a person in Oregon with a concealed weapon permit---which I posess---to keep a gun in their car in the first place, even if the police believed I had one in there all I would have to do is show them my permit and they would have no legal justification for looking since no crime had been committed. And as a practical matter, only an idiot would believe that the 25 or 30 guys who commuted to work in hunting rigs with campers, trailers and gun racks on the Friday before opening day didnt bother to bring their rifles along with them. In my 22 years at UPS no one has ever said or done anything...particularly since several of the hunters in our building are management people. We have also had many drivers have guns shipped to them via UPS and since they arent home to sign during the day they arrange to pick them up at the customer counter Will Call. After they clock off, they are entitled....like any other customer....to receive their package and take it out to their car. The only way the no gun rule could ever really be enforced is against some idiot who brandished his weapon or threatened someone in the parking lot. The guy with his hunting rifle locked in a case, or a legally carried gun under the seat, doesnt have anything to worry about. [/QUOTE]
