I know this is a step forward. And I'm glad it looks good for becoming law. But I have a couple questions. Didn't the version last year have a provision where you had to notify your employer if you kept a gun locked in your car? And didn't that kind of set an employee up for being terminated for some "other" reason the employer might cook up later, just because they didn't like the idea you had your gun? That brings us to the fenced parking lot provision in this bill. I really don't get that part. What's the deal about the parking lot being fenced, that makes it okay to deny me self protection to & from work? I know it says alternate parking OR a place to lock unloaded guns up has to be provided. I doubt most employers are going to pony up to pay for more parking, just for us gun guys. And even if they do, for employees to suddenly start parking in the unfenced lot just screams GUN IN THE CAR. BREAK INTO ONE OF THE CARS IN THIS LOT. So they opt for the locked up thing. And that again puts us in that situation, where they now know you bring guns to work. Every morning they smile & lock your gun up for you. And now are just looking for ANY reason to give you the boot. I really don't think we should be put in a situation where the employer can easily ID an employee as someone that has a gun in the car. So what is the big deal about a lot having a fence?
