THere is a possible law working its way through Utah State Legislator right now that would affect this.

Here is the link to the law so you can go read it in full. This is written into the law that allows people to take firearms onto private property as long as the firearm remains in their vehicle. This is a good law and has the liability issue written right into it. I would recommend you all go read this law then write your legislators!!

Excerpt:
34-45-105. Cause of action for noncompliance -- Remedies.
106 (1) An individual who is injured, physically or otherwise, as a result of any policy or
107 rule prohibited by Section 34-45-103 , may bring a civil action in a court of competent
108 jurisdiction against any person that violates the provisions of Section 34-45-103 .

So if this law passes (which it should) and then someone prohibits you from bringing a weapon in your vehicle to work and you are injured, you can bring civil action against them. This law as I understand it only covers weapons in vehicles, but it is definetly a step in the right direction.

PW, the good thing about laws like this being passed is that they open up the way for argumentation by deduction. In other words, even though this bill only protects our right to carry firearm in our vehicles on private property and assigns liability in the case we are prevented from exercising this right... it could later be used to argue that carrying a firearm on one's person is little different than carrying it in one's private vehicle.

Though laws like this certainly don't make such arguments SOLID, they definitely give room to stand on them.

Amen brother!!! Thats why we need this law.
