See my post #24. The one thing in question is whether she actually displayed the weapon at work, but she cannot be prohibited from carrying a legally permitted concealed weapon if she carries it in the lawful manner.

The problem is the irrational stigma, created by the media and gun-grabbers, about guns themselves. If I cop can open carry one, why can't I.....I'm quite sure I have much more range time than a cop does.

I realize, these are not the same circumstances:
A couple of years ago, Jim Goldberg was arrested when an employee *saw* his holstered gun when his shirt flapped open, when Goldberg was picking up some take-out at a restaurant. The employee called the cops....who turned up in force and arrested Goldberg. Turns out the cops stupidly *misinterpreted* the CT law which allows for open-carry. This ended up as a test-case for legal carry.

In another instance, a guy saw a customer's legal gun and thought the bank was being robbed. It set into motion a lot of unnecessary panic.

We have to know what our individual state laws are, and educate the scare-d-cats to mind their own business.

I owe you guys an apology. Apparently the courts in Florida have decided that this paragraph (e) that I posted does not stand on its own. They only view it as applying in the case where the gun is kept locked in the car while on the employer’s property. That makes sense, since it’s in the context of locked guns in the car, but that paragraph doesn’t make that linkage. The courts have said that it should, so this woman most likely has no case.
