Guns
Republican leaders are eager to lay to rest the question of whether employers should be required to allow workers to keep firearms in vehicles parked in company lots, the so-called guns-in-trunks legislation. But the debate has been complicated by the massacre in Newtown, Conn.
Lt. Gov. Ron Ramsey was working on a bill that would offer some concessions to business groups, which have fought the measure vigorously. These include letting companies with secure parking lots limit possession to employees who have permits to carry a handgun.
But Ramsey and Gov. Bill Haslam differ over whether the law should apply to schools and universities. Speaking to reporters a day before the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting, Ramsey said he saw no reason to exempt schools from guns-in-trunks.
Haslam has maintained they should be exempt, and the shooting did not change his position. Tennessee’s colleges and universities are gearing up for an aggressive lobbying effort to restrict firearms on their campuses.
more insanity....
