This whole thing is over Florida's newly passed parking lot firearm storage law. The law permits employees to lock their firearms in their cars while at work so long as the employer is not exempted by the statute. Several employer types were exempted (like explosive manufacturers, defense contracters, etc.) so that the bill could be passed.
If an employer forbids carrying a firearm on their property, they can fire your for violation of their policy (Florida is an "at will"state so they could fire you for any reason). This is really about allowing people to be free from searches of their vehicles while on employer property. This allows Floridians to protect themselves while driving home or out and about after or before work.
In addition, Disney has a no firearm policy for its employees and visitors, but there is not force of law for a visitor to carry into a park. When I lived in Florida I always carried while at Disney parks. If you were every made, all they could do is ask you to leave for face trespassing charges. The same is true for any business open to the public to enter regardless of signage declaring "No Firearms."
Indiana could benefit from a similar law permitting firearms to be stored in vehicles while on company property.

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. |
