The Georgia Senate yesterday passed a bill that will allow some workers in the southern US state to keep a firearm in a car parked in a company car park, regardless of the wishes of their employers.
According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution newspaper, the law will apply only to those who carry concealed weapons permits, of whom there are around 300,000.
The legislation provides that any property owner who wishes to ban firearms from his property may do so. But a Democratic Senator was unsuccessful in an attempt to amend the bill to allow business tenants, in addition to owners, to prohibit firearms at their place of businesses - leaving the way open for employees with permits to bring their guns to work and leave them in their cars against the wishes of their employers.
