Shielded Liability?

It seems that Idaho State is in the process of creating a law that would shield companies who allow employees to store guns in their vehicles while on company property.

I ask the question, what if someone went off the deep-end and left the building, went to their car and came back with a loaded weapon and went all postal? Do you think that the Government should shield a company that willingly allowed people the kind of access to a potentially deadly weapon from civil recrimination?

Being a strong proponent of the Second Amendment, I don't believe that the government should be involved in gun restrictions which infringe upon those rights. The phrases "reasonable restrictions," or "common sense limits" are by definition, infringements on these rights.

There is a difference in this case. By creating a shield law, the Government of Washington State will in effect create a benefit beyond the Constitution by denying due process to those who might be harmed as a result of an illegal use of an item which was lawfully stored.

What do you think?
