A quick check shows 37 Conoco Phillips branded outlets that I can boycott. My efforts will be 100% effective since I never buy gas there anyway. The pseudo intellectual progressive liberal demoracists are always complaining about corporate interference in affairs of government. That would certainly seem to be the case in Conoco Phillips blatant interference in the Second Amendment rights of the citizens of the State of Oklahoma. Despite that do not expect a hue and cry from the demoracists on this issue.

samwich, have you told the NRA they aren't relevant anymore? Do I get a refund on my membership?
I agree w/samwich on this one. You've got no right to have a gun on someone else's private property... publically accessible or not. Pretty soon postal workers will be going out to the parking lot to get their guns at lunchtime. If their cars are parked on the street, fine. But if they're in the employee lot, sorry.

1. Years ago a VA nurse was accosted in a dark, far end of the parking lot. Her assailant, who the Great State of Texas saw off to his Maker, left her to die on an ant hill. She lived with the ants for several days while her killer was in police custody refusing to divulge where he dumped her. A gun in her car may or may not have helped her. My point is that the dangers of the world have not drawn a line in the sand to claim their territory.
2. All parking lots are owned by some entity or person. Not all parking lots are considered exclusively private. To say that because a parking lot is private property employers should be able to prohibit firearms is an oversimplification of the issues. I have read an article about who was carrying firearms, and why, in the Weyerhauser Oklahoma parking lot. One reason was that the person lived on a ranch. Here in the Southwest we have always carried our hunting rifles in our pick ups.
3. Statistically employees of the United States Postal Service are not the crazed killers of urban legend, or, as reported by the national media. A post office is one of the safer places to work in America.
4. The Great State of Texas enacted a right to carry law because of a crazed killer's rampage at a Luby's Cafeteria in Central Texas near Ft. Hood. One of the victims had a firearm in her vehicle. Now what good is the law enacted by the elected representatives of the people if Luby's decides to interfere with the will of the people?
5. The issues of corporate interference vs. the right to carry laws will be played out in the courts of America.
Mr. Ducky, how soon you forget. I am big on Valero. Especially since you started whining about them scooping up your yankee dollars and bringing them home to poppa in San Antonio.
All I can say BB, is that if you come to my home and wish to enter, I have a right to ask to search and disarm you first. You can refuse and leave if you like. But don't think just because I let the duck in, that gives you the same right both pack heat and to enter.
Now if you had a carry permit or I knew you well, I might reconsider my policy. But in the absence of being "asked" to pack heat on my property or a valid warrant...I'm under NO obligation to oblige you.

DOn't get me wrong, BB, I'm ALL FOR people packing, but I place a Hermied at my gate just to let people know whose palace they are entering.
