Un-friggin-believable. We have a law that says it’s legal for you to leave a gun locked in your car at work, but it doesn’t really mean anything because they can still fire you if you do so and therefore can still enforce a gun-free parking lot employment policy.

It’s a delicate balance between gun rights and private property rights.

The bill was intended to just remove the state from the equation, not dictate to business owners what the rules of conduct on their property must be.

As I gun owner and property owner, I see both sides of the argument.

BANG!

FReepmail me if you want off of my Tennessee ping list, or better yet, if you want want to volunteer to grow your Tennessee ping list from my list.

I made mine for rare national stories that will get short shrift from the BS media, and for when I stumble into Tennessee stories like this one.

I'm from and in NYC, but I need to leave this nuthouse.

I am very pro 2a, so pro that I think the government should never enact laws related to firearms, or other arms for that matter. I am also very pro property rights, pro business and pro individual responsibility. I really do not see a need for this law. If government stayed out of this mess, then it would be left to people to decide. If a business owner decides that he doesn't want people on his property with firearms, then that is his decision. If he decides to fire an employee, then that is his decision. I am not saying it a good decision. Likewise employees may chose to work for a business that allows guns on their property and avoid business that do not.

I regularly carry and do not enter businesses that don't allow guns. They don't get my business and they have a false sense of security in thinking they have a gun free zone. It is a win-win.

The best thing politicians can do is eliminate all gun laws and all of the government, fees and taxes that go along with gun laws.

The problem in TN isn’t the gun laws, the problem is Attorney General Robert Cooper.

Best thing a person can really do is simply don't broadcast their carry habits to anyone at work. I worked in a place that prohibited firearms. I carried, bosses son carried, boss carried. Working a store late night the carry wasn't for the store but my hide working alone in a rough neighborhood. I have a nephew that works nights in that same area now. He darn sure carries but not inside work as there is plenty to defend himself with and not a likely robbery target.

This was in a neighborhood where a few years ago one of the worse car jacking, double rape, double torture, double murder happened. If a person is conceal carrying properly no one will know. If stowed in your vehicle at work same thing.
