There's a proposal in Pierre that would give certain employees more freedom when it comes to firearms.

, better known as the Guns in Trunks legislation, would prevent employers from punishing employees for keeping a gun in their car on the employer's property.

During Saturday's crackerbarrel session, several lawmakers said it's their constitutional right to bear arms, but one citizen expressed concerns about the bill.

The Community Support Providers of South Dakota advocates for people with disabilities, and they worry the firearms could accidentally get into the wrong hands.

Republican Representative David Johnson, District 33, says, "I am an advocate of strict enforcement of my rights as an American citizen to own a gun, operate, and possess a gun. That's my Second Amendment right. I do have to understand and approach with an open mind the fact that private property owners have every right in the world to restrict what they want on their property."

The bill is scheduled for a hearing on February 20th in front of the House State Affairs Committee.
