Parking Lot Bills in Michigan
My workplace is a “gun-free zone” under Michigan law, though the law does make a parking lot exception. So while I can legally leave a gun locked in my car, it’s against my employer’s policy and I could be fired for it. Of course, criminals don’t care about “gun-free zones”, and violent crimes are a not-infrequent occurrence at my workplace.
Here’s to hoping the bills pass!
We put in a system at work where you have to go through “keyed” entries out back to where all the employees are. “Keyed” as in biometric type swipe cards. If you leave, retire or lose it the card is deactivated immediately. If someone uses a weapon to force the receptionist to open the door out of the lobby, they are trapped in a hallway, no way out. It’s a pain for getting around but I’m glad it’s there.
