Central Florida's largest employer says it's exempt because the park has fireworks on its property. The NRA and Disney have a different take on the exemption in the law and it may end up in court. In the meantime, Disney isn't taking any chances. It sent an email to all of its workers telling them not to bring guns to work.
NOW why would anyone need a gun to work (exception of cops of course)!

wow what a stupid law now in stead of school shootings we will have work shootings. lol

Who needs to take a gun to work? Is society really THAT dangerous? Instead of letting people carry guns everywhere, why not address the real issues that cause the violence?

Well, on one hand I would say, why would most people bring a gun to work? On the other hand, I work in a pretty bad neighborhood, and if I owned a gun, I would probably see it fit to take it to work with me. I do currently carry a knife with me.
What is the point of being able to own arms if you are not able to take it to the place you are most (your work) when you are not at home?

What is it that makes people believe that only police officers need firearms? Are cops the only people that have run ins with criminals? If that were the case, we could ban police officers and all crime would disappear.
Wake up people. Everyday in this country, law abiding citizens are taken advantage of by criminals. To rely on a police officer that is a phone call away is ignorant when the criminal is merely a few steps away.
And do answer your question Elligirl, yes, this society is that dangerous. Instead of punishing the people who see the reason to carry a firearm for their protection, why don't we punish the people who use those firearms to cause harm?

Are we REALLY sick and tired of all of this gun violence that we see? I know I am. As an activist for a less violent world, the way I see it is that we have a great deal of work to do in order to reduce all of this gun violence and it's not going to happen unless we take action and take it NOW.
What should we do? well whoever is serious and wants to actually do SOMETHING instead of nothing, the first step on the ladder begins in our very own homes, the second in our classrooms, via non-violence/conflict resolution classes.
We need to educate our children on how to treat one another with respect, understanding and tolerance and we need a complete mindset change as we relate to relying upon guns and for that matter ALL lethal weapons to solve our problems and our differences. We need to replace lethal weapons with less than lethal weapons until guns filter down to where they become merely objects to be found in history books and collections. This is the ONLY way less people will be maimed and/or killed and our future generations will be able to perpetuate this beautiful planet that we so cherish.
If I could re-write the 2nd Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, this is precisely what I would love to see:
"We, the people of the United States, in order that we shall have the right to preserve a State free for all races, shall achieve this end by the use of less-lethal weaponry only for our continued survival as human beings. This free State entails our personal self-defense as well as our right to our food consumption. In keeping with current government law, if we so choose to possess a less-lethal weapon (be it either upon our persons or within our private homes), we are obligated to store these aforementioned weapons plus any ammo relating to its use in a manner which will serve to protect the welfare of a minor child."

BTW, how is Disney going to enforce this? Are they going to conduct random car searches of their 62,000 employees?
