Judge Upholds ‘Guns-at-Work’ Law; Companies Duck and Cover

A Florida judge has upheld that state's new "guns-at-work" law that allows employees to keep firearms locked in their cars on company parking lots. But many employers are aggressively looking for ways to keep the weapons off their premises, using special exemptions built into the law. With two other states recently enacting legislation similar to Florida's (and more poised to consider the issue next year), this is an issue HR needs to monitor.
