UPDATE: ALABAMA HOUSE PANEL DEFEATS BILL ALLOWING GUNS IN VEHICLES IN THE WORKPLACE

Posted on April 1, 2010 by Daniel Burnick

In my blog entry of February 28, I wrote that:  "The Alabama Senate has passed a bill, by a vote of 26-2, that would permit employees to keep legal firearms in their vehicles on company premises, so long as they are locked out of sight, such as in the glove compartment or trunk.  Electric utilities are exempted under this bill.  I will update the status of this bill as it moves through the legislature."  Although this billed had strong support in the Senate, the House voted today to reject the bill.  The vote was a voice vote, so there is no record of how the members of the House Commerce Committee voted.  With only 7 days left in the 2010 session, it appears as if this bill will not get any further consideration at this time.
