This Law Firm Publication by Constangy, Brooks & Smith, LLP discusses Tennessee legislation that clarifies the state's law concerning weapons at the workplace. According to the clarification, an employer is prohibited from taking an adverse employment action against an employee solely for taking actions that comply with the "Guns in Trunks" law. The "Guns in Trunks" law allows an individual with a valid permit to transport and store a weapon in his own locked, legally-parked vehicle in a public or private parking area. The gun must be kept from ordinary observation, but an individual does not violate the law if he is seen securing the weapon in an effort to comply. The law does not prevent an employer from banning weapons indoors or on its premises outside of the vehicle; nor does it create employer liability for any violent incident that occurs with a properly stored weapon. The clarifying legislation applies to adverse actions on or after the date the law became effective, July 1, 2015. This Law Firm Publication also provides proposed weapons policy language that Tennessee employers can use to comply with the law.
