HB 20, HB 375 very important

[jbw59]

HB 20 is a very important bill for us. Here is the summary.

Emergency services and disasters; constitutional rights. Provides that nothing in the Emergency Services and Disaster Law shall be interpreted to limit or prohibit the possession, carrying, transportation, sale, or transfer of firearms.

This basically says that no govt. entity can do what they did during Katrina and confiscate guns.

HB 375 is the parking lot bill. Here is the summary.

Control of firearms by localities; workplace rules. Prohibits localities from adopting a workplace rule that prevents an employee from storing a lawfully possessed firearm and ammunition in his locked motor vehicle. The firearm must be in a secured container or compartment in the vehicle.

This keeps your employer from denying you your second amendment rights going to and from work because they don't allow guns in your car in their parking lot.
