There have been numerous businesses sued after the company policy was updated to forbid firearms in employee cars in the company parking lots.
According to the courts, that's unconstitutional, as the policy denies the employees their 2A rights before, during and after their commute to work. Anyone stopping for gas or groceries on the way to/from work would be disarmed involuntarily.
So, there's precedence that should cover whether or not you can be forced to leave a forearm at home versus in the car.
I'm okay with minimal times I'd have to store a gun in the car. But then I recall the story of the Luby's cafeteria massacre, and how one woman lost her parents that day while her pistol was sitting in the car because of a new law.
Chuck Schumer was one of the smug politicians listening to her testimony as she described how she was rendered helpless when a madman entered her life.
As I keep reiterating: carrying a gun is for those threats you can't predict or even imagine. Being turned into helpless sitting ducks needs to stop.
I'm semi drunk here, so bear with me. The problem with these antigun nuts is they're too stupid to keep their requirements "reasonable" to the average law abiding citizen and the courts. they will poke and prod the bear (supreme court) until they're forced into action and slap down their totally unconstitutional regulations. If they kept it "reasonable", it would be a more difficult decision on SCOTUS to stand firm on the constitution. Hawaii having 0 carry permits active is obviously a defacto ban. If these dumbasses try to ban carry in PUBLIC spaces, they will get dongslapped again by SCOTUS. Again, by keeping it "reasonable" to the average citizen, meaning no guns in prisons, state capitol, police stations, stadiums, the public and court would find it acceptable. But they decide to go ultra extremist, which attracts the attention of the courts and the people.
As of December 2017 there were 0 active Handgun Carry Licenses issued to private citizens in Hawaii, out of a population of 1.4 million. There is no such thing as a "liberal" or "conservative" justice, there's only judges that uphold the law or not. The job of a justice is not to make up your own laws, but to interpret the laws as they are written, with possibly some legal leeway. That's the reason for the 3 branches of government. It is the duty of congress, elected by the people, to write the laws. A 5th grader (hopefully) could tell you that. The ONLY reason it isn't that simple is because this country is full of judges that tramples over the bounds of their legal powers. Those judges should be fired and jailed. Roe V Wade - even Ginsberg said that was a wrong legal decision. Going WAY too far without the appropriate federal LEGISLATIVE action.
