Good try by unarmed university police officer

Posted by David Hardy · 25 December 2006 10:48 AM

An Iowa court rejects an argument, by a university policeman forbidden to carry firearms on the job, that the restriction creates an unsafe workplace. (pdf file)

I'm curious:

This employee has been denied the tools he feels necessary for his protection on the job.

If he is subsequently injured for lack of those tools will he have an ironclad cause of action?

I was under the impression that NYC's earliest concealed carry prohibitions, which only applied to police, were overturned long before the modern workplace regs. If true, why wouldn't whatever argument that they used win today?

One of the things that the appellant wanted was to present testimony supporting the contention aht it's more dangerous to be unarmed in a dangerous situation than it is to be armed.

The trial court refused to allow that testimony, stating "that testimony is self evident and there is no need to call witnesses to testify on such an open and obvious fact."

Hmm.
