Governor signs guns in parking lot bill into law. Despite the OMG and libertarian angle, the bill just no longer makes it illegal to store in a parking lot. It doesn’t mean you can’t get fired or asked to leave.

Only if you’re driving your own car.

And you can still get fired, you just can’t get fired AND prosecuted.

I would love to see how this applies to a National Guard post (state government) or TN State Government property. I’m still screwed I imagine.

They should use Texas law as a guide for this if they try it again. In Texas a parking lot is not considered part of the “premises” of public property.

Here in Texas, we can keep a firearm available and ready for use in our vehicles while traveling, which made the parking lot prohibition problematic. So parking lots had to become legal locations to leave a gun in a car.
Nibble, nibble, and now we are arguing about campus carry.
See how it works?

They fixed that in an amendment.

mikee, can Tennessee borrow your legislature when you’re not using it?
Ours seems to be unable to cut-n-paste from other states who’ve figured things out.

No, wizard, they didn’t. the TN House voted down amendments that would have covered any car you have a right to drive and prevented employers from firing employees who keep a weapon in their cars.
