This looks like a pretty big win for the right to keep and bear arms in Florida.

What are the OSHA guidelines that companies think they’re complying with by banning guns?

You buy your employees’ labor. You’re not entitled to their constitutional rights as well.

Disney has an exception as I recall, based on the fact that the corporation has an FFL for the fireworks they use in their shows. The Mouse runs the FL legislature.

With "Employment at Will", they do not even buy it-The just rent it.

Yup. Anyone who crosses the Mouse risks being found in bed with a dead girl or a live boy.

Limits on exposure to fast-acting lead.

Good news for Floridians. There was a similar lawsuit against one of the big oil companies in Texas (was it Conoco-Phillips?) concerning guns in your car while parked on a company-owned parking lot.

Does anyone know what became of this lawsuit, or is it still pending?

So, what does that do to or for the fired Disney employee? —or was that Disneyland in Cali?

Neither will Conoco-Phillips and others in Oklahoma.

AOL in Utah.

Other states have pasted laws protecting employee's right to keep a gun in their personal autos.

If this goes to The Federated Courts level it could effect employers in several states.

It was posted here on FR that Conoco-Phillips (Oklahoma) had won at the first level of the federal courts.

Appealed to a higher court????

Business are just conservative, heartless right-wingers, say, like George Soros. Yeah, that’s the ticket.

Good point.

They hate being reminded of it.

Too bad it took me forty years too long to finally figure it out! :-)

The General Duy Clause.

It is the catch all clause.

Section 5a if I recall.
