State Gun Control Legislation
In 2004, Oklahoma passed legislation which prevents an employer from prohibiting employees from keeping guns locked in their parked cars on the employer's parking lot. That legislation went through the court process and was struck down by a federal judge in Tulsa, Oklahoma, in 2007. Alaska, Kansas, Kentucky, Minnesota, and Mississippi have also passed similar legislation. Arizona, Tennessee, Georgia, and Florida are currently considering similar legislation. The National Rifle Association (NRA) is the leading advocate of this legislation, while business owners are generally opposed.
