An Act Relating to Concealed Firearms Locked in Vehicles

Be it enacted by the People of the State of Maine as follows:

Sec. 1. 26 MRSA §600 is enacted to read:

§ 600. Concealed firearms

An employer or an agent of an employer may not prohibit an employee who has a valid permit to carry a concealed firearm under Title 25, chapter 252 from keeping a firearm in the employee’s vehicle as long as the vehicle is locked and the firearm is not visible.

SUMMARY

This bill provides that an employer may not prohibit an employee with a valid concealed firearms permit from keeping a firearm in the employee's vehicle as long as the vehicle is locked and the firearm is not visible.

Rep. Cebra is the sponsor.
 
This is really good news and I am hopeful it will pass with a republican legislature and governor. I am wondering if they will exempt public schools from this law? Right now, Federal Law allows guns on school property in locked in a case in the trunk but Maine state law does not allow guns on school property at all.
