Americans who support gun ownership.... Does that mean your against drug tests in the work place?

Because of the civil liberties issues?

I am strongly against drug tests at work.
It's nobody's business at my place of employment what another employee does on his or her time off.
My place of employment is in no way shape or form affiliated with law enforcement and shouldn't think they should be allowed to or expected to do law enforcements job.
If someone at work is acting in a way that causes people to question their ability to do their job safely it shouldn't matter what that reason is. If they can't perform their job safely than they need to be removed from that job

@Dainbramadge Unfortunately your behavior, actions, and appearance at work reflects on your employer and their liability. Usually, people who are using illicit drugs or consume too much alcohol are cognitively if not physically impaired to do their work the next day, and addictions lead to use while on the job. Why should an employer have to accept less than the best their employees can give? Or the increased liability that an impaired employee adds, especially if they injure others or damage property? The risks are too great for them to accept employees who are impaired. Its not just about you. Your actions have effects on everyone around you, especially your employer.
