Will Indiana's 'Bring Your Gun to Work' Bill Stick?

Last week Indiana's legislature passed a bill that will allow the state's residents to bring their guns with them to work, so long as they leave them in their cars. The bill passed by a huge margin in both the House (74 to 20) and the Senate (41 to 9). The bill will exclude some work places. For example, you can't bring your gun to work if you work at a school, or if you drive around the developmentally disabled.
 
One day after the bill was passed, a man from Portage, Ind., brought his gun to work. And then used it. The Evansville Courier and Press reports:
 
On Thursday, the Indiana General Assembly sent a bill to Gov. Mitch Daniels that would ensure a worker's right to bring guns to work, as long as they remain locked in the employee's vehicle.
 
The next day, a Portage man who was angry about a poor performance review at the Indiana Department of Workforce Development went to his car, grabbed a shotgun, returned to his office building and began shooting at his co-workers.
 
Though no one was injured, some Indiana lawmakers and business groups pointed to that incident Monday as they pleaded with Daniels to veto the bill.
 
The bill is backed heavily by the NRA, though most business organizations in the state are opposed to the legislation.
 
Indiana isn't the only state playing with gun laws. The U.S. Supreme Court is considering the constitutionality of a handgun ban in Chicago and Oak Park, Ill.
 
Where do you stand on the issue? Do you believe our rights under the Second Amendment extend to the workplace? We want to hear from you.
