I have two issues with the wording of this bill:

1) the requirement to notify the employer. I can see several problems with this - can the knowledge of the CHL become office gossip, or is there security to protect that info? What if the employer decides to provide an "alternate" storage place? Will other employees automatically know you've got a firearm because they see you visiting the "safe area" twice a day? Whose lock is on the "safe" and who has access to the key(s)? Or, can the employer decide that only their own security officer can carry your firearm from your car to the safe and back... ?

2) the bill doesn't clearly differentiate between a gated, proprietary parking lot and a public access lot that's owned, leased or shared by the employer. Would an employee of a store or office that shares parking with other stores/offices be impacted by this?

I would like the validation to be able to keep a firearm in my vehicle without repercussions from an employer. Am I just being paranoid?
