[QUOTE="dannyboy, post: 643122, member: 484"] It is UPS property if they have a legal right to use that property. Just like if you rent a home instead of buy it, you still have a legal right to that property, and can legally say who and what is allowed on your property. As far as carry while on the job, I do, and so do my employees that work at my shop. And my daughter has proven her marksmanship with a shotgun when threatened. And at the range with her granpa's 308, she put everyone to shame. But that is now. I dont know of one time in 33 years that I actually feared for my life enough to use a gun for protection. And that includes both times that I was assaulted by customers. While a deadly response would have been justified, they would have been dead wrong looking back after the fact. Once the trigger is pulled, its too late for a clearer look at the facts of the situation. One thing is certain. In the four plus minutes the fort hood shooter had, he did a lot of damage that could have been prevented. And yes, they could have stopped it with intervention like NE said. But someone else in the room that went armed could have at least bought time for the others. The banning of weapons for law abiding citizens is just like the restrictions on sinus meds. It has no effect on those that the law intends to target. But what it does is restrict the law abiding citizen. d [/QUOTE]
