The prison I work at tried to prevent us from being able to keep our personal weapons in our cars.  Our Attorney General at the time told them they better not touch our guns.

I just read this and what a bunch of Hypocrisy....

Quote
"This is an attempt to trample upon the property rights of property owners and attempt to make it more difficult to protect the workers in a workplace and those who visit our retail establishments," said Sen. Ted Deutch, a Boca Raton Democrat.

so where were these angry voices when ordinances were being passed outlawing smoking in bars and Restaurants and other retail establishments.

WTG Florida... Now just ban those pesky hurricaines...

In Louisiana its legal to keep your gun in your car and you don't have to have a license. So you are worrying about nothing.

If a business prevents you from being able to keep a gun in your car then they should be held responsible for anything that happens to you on your way to and from work.

Agreed.

It should be up to the property owners, but the accept full criminal and civil liability by denying you your ability to carry.

A few officers had their guns confiscated in searches.  And when the Attorney General told the prison they better be returned, the prison couldn't because they lost them.  Needless to say a few officers got new guns.    :lol

I've mixed feelings about this. OK so you get to carry while on the way to and from work. But if guns then have to be kept in cars, I predict an increase in car break ins and rise in crimes like store hold ups.

Nice sig. Maverick! I'm glad that check did not get cashed.

Don't see that happening so much here in Louisiana.

Well yipee! I can finally take the ole sniper rifle out of the closet and take it to work and no one will look twice. Of course when the gangbangers smash my window and use it to commit a crime i will be heartbroken. Seems to me this is a good idea gone bad. If they can take them then they should also be required to make sure they are secure while out of there sight, I.E. trigger lock, small gun safe, ect. I'd be looking into how this law is worded a little more before i gave it a thumbs up vote.
