"Guns-in-vehicle law ruled valid; The appeals court overturns a Tulsa judge's order on firearms at a job site"

"Guns-in-vehicle law ruled valid; The appeals court overturns a Tulsa judge's order on firearms at a job site": The Tulsa World today contains an article that begins, "Oklahoma's law requiring employers to allow workers to have guns in their locked vehicles at work is valid, an appeals court decided Wednesday. The decision by the Denver-based court overturns a court order by a judge in Tulsa who in 2007 barred enforcement of the law. A panel of the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals decided 3-0 that U.S. District Judge Terrence Kern erred in concluding that the law is pre-empted by the federal Occupational Safety and Health Act."
