Daniels signs gun bill

INDIANAPOLIS — Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels has signed into law a bill that lets workers keep guns locked out of sight in their vehicles while parked on their employers' property.

Daniels cited the rights of gun owners under the Second Amendment and the Indiana Constitution in signing the bill Thursday. He also noted its broad support in clearing the Indiana House 74-20 and the state Senate 41-9.

The law takes effect July 1. Daniels said lawmakers in the future might want to clean up some "ambiguities" in the law that could invite lawsuits. He was referring to provisions that exempt some employers including schools, child care centers, domestic violence shelters, and some utilities and chemical plants.

Opponents say the law can lead to workplace violence.
