The lesson here is that it is alright to have a gun free zone , but there is no honor in trying to enforce it.

If the guy with the knife has used a gun, the woman would be dead.

So he got his job back..No reason to complain, is there?

You should read that.

There was no" guy with a knife " in that story.

GM had to be shamed into giving that guy his job back in spite of his defiance of their gun ban.

This is the proper outcome , that GM gets shamed into doing right by their armed hero.

Don't you think it would also be proper for the woman who was stabbed to sue GM on account of their deep pockets and foolish gun free policy that nearly killed her?

Mayor Commends gun nut.

There was indeed a guy with a knife. The guy with the gun told the guy with the knfe to drop the knife. Read the damned thing, already!

Perhaps in your lingo "guy" does not connote a male .

But in this story "daughter " definitely denotes a female.

No.

This is multiple knife wounds , would you like to assert that a person cannot die of multiple knife wounds?
Would you like to assert that a person cannot be killed with a single knife wound?

Would you care to assert that no one ever survives gun shot wounds ?

This woman is seriously hurt , if she lives and if she decides to sue General Motors , I better not be a member of that Jury.

I have already decided in my mind that General Motors had a policy would have prevented her survival surely if it had not been disobeyed.

But now that pistol packing guy is back on the job, and very likely still pistol packing , and GM probably still has that area declared gun free.

If the next thing to happen is that a mugger gets seriously injured , perhaps this mugger can sue GM for entrapment?

GM has the right to prohibit their employees from carrying even legal weapons on their private property; the employee , if he disagrees with that policy, is free to look for employment elsewhere. Anyone else who disagrees with GM's policies is free to protest, boycott GM products, etc.

Exactly right.  And anyone who is injured due to a policy that prohibits the exercise of one's right to defend themselves with a firearm, does also have a basis for a lawsuit.  Not sure how strong a case it would be, since it is a private company, but given the circusmtances of this event, the woman stabbed might have a basis for one.  Just speculation, at this point

I think that the law agrees with you, at least at present.

But I do not like this law and think it is unconstitutional and has dangerous potential.

Shall this constitutionally  protected right be freely abridged by anyone who owns land?

Shall this be a right enjoyed only by land owners ?

What of renters and people who live in federally owned or state owned properties?

If this is a right only at the whim of landlords willing to leave it unabridged then it becomes a rather weak "right".
