Fired for his own gun in his own car

His lawsuit says his termination violates a section of Wisconsin’s 2011 concealed carry law, known as Act 35.

Section 175.60(15m)(b) –  An employer may not prohibit a licensee or an out-of-state licensee, as a condition of employment, from carrying a concealed weapon, a particular type of concealed weapon, or ammunition or from storing a weapon, a particular type of weapon, or ammunition in the licensee’s or out-of-state licensee’s own motor vehicle, regardless of whether the motor vehicle is used in the course of employment or whether the motor vehicle is driven or parked on property used by the employer.

Shepherd’s suit seeks his reinstatement with back pay, a declaration that Kolbe can’t take “negative job action” against employees with concealed carry licenses who keep a gun in their private vehicle, even while parked at Kolbe, and his costs of litigation.
