State Rep. Paul Opsommer, R-DeWitt, will introduce a package of bills aimed at protecting employees who own guns from discrimination from employers.
From a press release from Opsommer:
“Unless firearm ownership is directly related to an established and bona fide occupational requirement for the job there is no reason for an employer to ask questions about whether a potential employee owns or knows how to use a gun. We also need to ensure that employers can not create over-reaching company policies that violate the Constitution and provide an excuse to terminate employees whose political views differ from those of management. People who lawfully own firearms and are following appropriate storage laws should not lose the ability to transport them in privately owned vehicles.”
Opsommer expects to introduce the legislation this week. He said similar legislation has passed in 10 states.
