Anti-Gun Lawsuit Against the WV Parking Lot Firearms Law Wins in Court – or not – Everything Law and Order Blog

In 2018, West Virginia passed a wonderful pro-2nd Amendment piece of legislation, titled HB 4187, a.k.a. the “Parking Lot Bill,” which took effect on June 8, 2018. The bill prohibited businesses from banning firearms from vehicles in their parking lots. It also prohibited the hiring and firing of employees based on their possession of firearms.

Bloomberg and his gun control lawyers have challenged the law in federal court. They defeated the WV Attorney General’s motion to dismiss. Here’s why, and and my take on what it means…..

  1. Had a friend get fired for this back in 1989. Funny thing was he was a reserve police officer in the city he worked. It turned out the company owner had gotten arrested for OWI. He knew the guy had his gun in the car. Called the police, issued a no trespassing order and fired him for having his duty pistol in the trunk. Since he was not a sworn officer on duty court sided with owner.

  2. This notion that a business can do what it wants against the bill of rights is bullshit. The idea that the bill of rights only pertains to government property is also bullshit. If you are in a person’s house, you don’t give up your right to search and seizure while on private property. That right extends on private property because it is an inalienable right. You don’t lose your citizenship or individual freedom when you step on another’s property. The whole meaning of unalienable has been lost on the courts. It is as if the most thoughtless people now interpret the law.

  3. If I understand this correctly, the gun control people are mad that their constitutional right to deny someone else's constitutional right has been violated?
    I hope someone notices this and brings it up in the court room.
    I can understand how a trespasser loses some of their rights while in the act of trespassing, but how or why should the the people that have been invited onto the property lose their rights?

  4. We the people have the power. Imagine a million man March on DC with every man armed with ar15. I guarantee the politicians would listen then lol then March on to Bloomberg's company headquarters. NOT A DAMN THING they could do about it.

  5. Don’t worry dude; if gun owners don’t allow sensible regulation of firearms I will just switch my support and make sure the 2nd amendment is destroyed completely. It will no longer be your civil right. Problem solved. Or you can be part of the solution and allow reasonable gun ownership. You look at a gun owner not being able to travel through the day with their gun. I see it as my right to a safe and non hostile work environment that does not threaten my person. When two rights conflict with each other laws must err to the rights that serve best the majority. One gun owner versus the rest of employees. I know you see it differently but that’s how non gun owners see it. I don’t care if a person owns a gun but when we sign employment papers we mutually agree to give up some rights for the benefit of the organization and for compensation in return. If the gun owner. Doesn’t like it there are plenty of other jobs. They have choice. That choice was not taken away. It was just limited for the benefit of the majority.
