Yes, that is fine, stupid of them to be employee unfriendly, but fine. My company has a no carry policy in fact.

"In a republic, a constitution or charter of rights protects certain inalienable rights that cannot be taken away by the government, even if it has been elected by a majority of voters."

What are they teaching the children in schools these days?

Actually, technically, we live in a democratic republic.

I'm not scared I'm going to die every day. It doesn't effect my happiness. I'm more free because I have the option of stopping any threat should the situation arise.

JagsNGeorgia, you and I don't agree on much, but on this, I agree 100%

The term you want is Constitutional Republic, a Democratic Republic merely elects a group of representatives who have the power to write any law they want. A CR has a Constitution that is authoritative to the current legislative body,  that's why the Congress cant write unconstitutional laws.
