Can a Municipality Prohibit Its Employees from Carrying at Work?
Are municipalities allowed to prohibit carrying by their employees (other than cops, obviously)? I understand that there are some restrictions as far as a borough hall that is also the police station with a holding cell. Can they prevent an employee from keeping, say, a hunting rifle in his/her vehicle's trunk? Of course, there's no need to even broach the subject if the gun's out of sight. But can they legally do anything about it?

Rules are written in the stone,
Break the rules and you get no bones,

You're late! There is much discussion on this topic in this thread.... http://forum.pafoa.org/political-was...operty-ri.html
.While many claim to support the right, precious few support the practice.

INAL, which means I'm talking out my ANAL, but I think the way they could get around it is they're not prohibited from possessing OR owning firearms, they're simply not allowed to carry during work hours. I don't see how that would be any different than being nude during work hours, wearing a big "FU" sign on their forehead, etc.

They're regulating the terms of employment, not regulating the ownership or possession of firearms. You're not prohibited from possession or ownership of firearms, you're prohibited from employment. However, what if they said the same thing about parks for example? "Youre not prohibited from possession or ownership of firearms, you're being prohibited from entrance to the park."
