KY lawsuit over CCW permittee's firearm in parked vehicle

Complaint, in pdf, here. The plaintiff is an anesthesia tech, working at the university hospital; they fired him over his having a handgun in a car, parked on campus, about a mile away. I haven't checked the KY law, but it certainly sounds like he has a good case. I note they not only fired him, in violation of the statute, but opposed his application for unemployment benefits. Reminds me of what an attorney who does medical malpractice here told me. About 1/3 of his cases arise when a hospital hands off its bill to a collection agency. The family suspected their member had died due to a screw up, but were willing to consider it water under the bridge -- until Acme Collections starts pestering them for $5,000 to pay for the treatment that killed the person.
