Anyone ever read Tom Clancy's "Rainbow 6"?

Maybe there is... I went to Phantom fireworks this week,(at the corner of highway 40 just off of 465 on the west side) and they had a big no firearms poster on their front door. So I went across the street to Patriotic fireworks, who had no sign, and was very helpful despite the handgun on my hip.

I'd say fireworks is a pretty weak argument to ban firearms.
The fireworks can't do what you suggested, of course, but I think the law was probably written so that employers who deal in real explosives would have less risk around those items. It should be our right to carry anywhere we consider a crime may happen, obviously, but that does not mean that we should not exercise our own judgement and recognize the risks of carrying around, say, nitroglycerine, which is exceptionally unstable.
Personally, I don't know enough about it to say how big a risk this is, and I don't agree with a law mandating compliance. I also don't think Disney qualifies as a business whose primary income is derived through dealing in explosives.

Bottom line, their idea of zero tolerance for workplace violence is a good thing. Going about it by restricting guns is wrong-headed. If their insurance policies are any gauge, they favor gay marriage, too. Do they promote that by forbidding Republicans from coming to their parks?

Blessings,
B
