A Texas lawmaker on Monday, February 9, introduced legislation that would prohibit employers from banning firearms in their parking lots.
S.B. 730, introduced by state Sen. Glenn Hegar Jr., would also eliminate employers’ liability for damages in cases involving guns stored in their parking lots, except in instances of gross negligence.
