Over the last couple of years an increasing number of states have passed laws allowing employees to keep guns in locked vehicles on company property or nearby secure sites.   Fourteen states (Alaska, Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Minnesota, Mississippi, Nebraska, Oklahoma, and Utah) currently have such laws. This trend is likely to continue.  Pennsylvania and Michigan have also been considering such legislation, although it has failed in several other states. The state laws differ considerably so employers should make sure that their policies and practices are in compliance.
