Executive summary: Tennessee Governor Bill Haslam has signed legislation providing new employment protections for handgun owners. As discussed in more detail in our March 25, 2015 Alert, the new law creates a private right of action for any employee who is terminated solely for storing a firearm or ammunition in the employee’s vehicle while parked in the employer’s parking lot. The law represents yet another outgrowth of the controversial “Guns in Trunks” legislation passed by the General Assembly in 2013.
