I was browsing the TN hometown forum and saw this posted. Apparently the 10th Circuit Court has overturned a lower court decision in OK. Looks like the OK legislature passed amendment holding employers criminally liable for prohibiting employees from storing firearms in locked vehicles on company property. This was struck down by a lower court. The OK Gov and Attorney General appealed and won.
NRA headline While this ruling doesn't necessarily cover us here in AR, we're under the 5th umbrella, it does set a precedent. Academy Sports has this policy in place to not allow firearms on their property by their employees. |

| This would be a good law for our friends in the AR legislature to get to work on. Pass a law similar to OK, and I think TN has one in the works as well, and make it illegal for employers to prevent employees from having legal guns in our cars at work on company property. |
