I just left a breakfast meeting with SE Davidson county republicans and Jim Gotto was one there. He said that with Ramsey killing it that it would have to be next year before this could come back up. He also said that he thought that instead of the bill written as it was this year, that expanding the Castle Doctrine to include your personal vehicle, whether you are in it or not. That would prevent employers from searching a vehicle without probable cause. That sounds like as long as the person with a firearm locked in a car didn't say anything about the gun they would be fine.
I would still rather they just give HCP holders full rights to have that weapon in their car and not have to worry about being fired because of it. If this type of legislation is what it takes for now then I'm OK with it. Later when there have been no issues with HCP holders then moving to a better position might be easier. It's a shame that we usually have to take small steps to get where we want to be but hopefully, we will one day get to where we have an absolute constitutional type of rights here in TN.
He also said that Fed Ex is the one who is making the most noise about this issue.
What are your thoughts on this approach.
