Disney Exempt From Gun Laws?
Comments 0 | Recommend 0Disney claims to be exempts from new state gun law.
ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) - Walt Disney World believes it is exempt from a new state law that allows Florida residents to keep firearms
in their vehicles while at work.
That's according to an internal memo by Shannon McAleavey, Disney World's vice president of public affairs.
Under the new law, businesses cannot prohibit employees or customers from keeping a legally owned gun locked inside their
cars, as long as the owner has a permit to carry a concealed weapon.
But the bill states that property owned or leased by an employer who has a permit required by federal law to manufacture, use, store or move explosives would still be off limits. Disney has a permit for its fireworks shows.
The loophole was lobbied for by a group of lawyers that represented groups and businesses that included Disney.
