Indiana chamber concerned about gun bill - 13 WTHR - Indianapolis News |
"Indianapolis - The Indiana Chamber of Commerce says an office shooting in Portage shows why Gov. Mitch Daniels should veto a bill that would allow workers to keep firearms locked in their vehicles in trunks or out of sight while parked on company property.
Police say 60-year-old Edgar Tillery of Portage became upset during his job review Friday, then retrieved a shotgun from his car that he fired twice at a state Department of Workforce Development office. He faces a charge of attempted murder, although no one was hurt.
Chamber President Kevin Brinegar says the shooting "is further evidence that guns and the workplace simply don't mix."
The chamber is urging business leaders to voice their opposition to Daniels.
Brinegar predicts court challenges based on property rights if the bill becomes law.
