why I ought'a ...
Does anyone in Florida know the basis for this claim?
Is there really an exemption in the law, or is Disney just thinking they can outlast challengers in the courts?

*"I don't know" <--sheesh!
No vacation dollars for Disney from my family.
I bet old Walt Disney must be spinning in his grave thinking what the lefties have done to his company.
florida state law says then can. until disney is granted special circumstances to prevent it then they have to abide by the same state laws as everyone else. for to long disney has been calling their own shots. its time to play by the rules. what i do understand though is that this employee was fired before the new law went into effect. i would say he should have kept his mouth shut until the law went into effect then protested. i think his case may have had more strength.
Does Disney attempt to disarm its patrons ?
They should simply ignore this nonsense.
Should Disney employees with concealed-weapons permits be allowed to keep their guns in their cars while at work?

It’s the happiest place on Earth!
Apparently Disney Corp thinks they are exempt from the Constitution too.

A Tulsa federal judge has ruled against the state in its attempt to make sure employees can take guns onto their employers' property.
U.S. District Judge Terence Kern issued a permanent injunction against an Oklahoma law that would have kept employers from banning firearms at the workplace under certain conditions.
Kern decided in a 93-page written order issued Thursday that the amendments to the Oklahoma Firearms Act and the Oklahoma Self-Defense Act, which were to go into effect in 2004, conflict with a federal law meant to protect employees at their jobs.
Whirlpool Corp. opted out of the Tulsa lawsuit in November 2004, and the Williams Cos. and ConocoPhillips took over as the primary plaintiffs.
Williams later dropped out of the lawsuit, leaving ConocoPhillips, which is based in Houston but employs more than 3,000 people in Oklahoma, to carry on with the case.
Tulsa attorney Steve Broussard, representing ConocoPhillips, said Friday that the company is pleased with the ruling.
Kern concluded that the proposed changes to Oklahoma law conflict with -- and are legally pre-empted by -- the 1970 Occupational Health and Safety Act.
That federal law requires employers to lessen hazards in their workplaces that could lead to death or serious bodily harm. The measure also encourages employers to prevent gun-related workplace injuries.
According to Kern's opinion, Alaska, Kansas, Minnesota and Kentucky have passed similar laws, while 13 states have rejected such measures.
Meanwhile, the National Rifle Association has embarked on a state-by-state campaign to get legislatures to enact laws that require employers to allow their workers to bring guns onto company parking lots.
"When you get off work at 12 o'clock or 1 o'clock and you're driving home, you have the right to protect yourself if you're accosted on the highway," Wayne LaPierre, the NRA's executive vice president has said.
The amendments to Oklahoma law were made after forest products giant Weyerhauser Corp. fired eight employees in 2002 when guns were found in their cars on company lots in Oklahoma. Federal courts later upheld the firings.
Will Heller affect these rulings made in 2007 and before?
Where is:
"No. Disney employees with concealed-weapons permits should be allowed to keep their guns on their persons while at work."
It is?? Why on earth would it be (other than Disney's well known propensity for buying the best legislators money can buy)?
So Disney doesn't' trust its employees? What about the food serve workers who could poison guests? Ride operators and maintainers who could kill dozens with a few bolt turnings? And anyone bent on mayhem who could just ignore the rule, since they're going to get fired at a minimum anyway, and run amok with no one to stop them?
