The Supreme Court ruling allows me to have a firearm in my home. It does not allow anyone to have a firearm in my home. A robber cannot come into my home with a firearm under the protection of the Supreme Court ruling.


The Florida law about motor vehicles in another question. But that law, as all gun control laws, will have to be re-evaluated in light of the Supreme Court ruling. It may survive challenges, and it may not. Years of litigation are ahead.

I'd like to find out from the guy exactly why he feels it's necessary to carry one around in the first place. I'd love to know what he's afraid of, or exactly why it's his "woobie" that he can't leave home without.

I wonder if he'd also complain that Disney won't allow tinfoil hats to be worn with costumes as well?

Who knows, perhaps he works two jobs and the other job requires it. The point is carrying a gun in the car is now legal and the law specifically states that an employer cannot violate the privacy rights of the individual (their words not mine) by making an inquiry about the presence of a gun in the vehicle. Which according to the story, Disney did.

Clearly, he want to keep the gun handy in case another employee or a guest hurts his feelings and he needs to retaliate, right?

I don't see anything wrong with that.

His other job is shooting people.

I suppose if the law specifically stated that tinfoil hats were to be permitted in any work uniform Disney would have to allow it.

I think this guy may have quite a lawsuit that is about to be filed. Know any lawyers that want to sue Disney for wrongful termination? Based on the wording of the law it seems pretty open and shut. But I'm not a lawyer and Disney has deep pockets.

Or perhaps guarding children at a day care center.

You want somebody with a gun at a daycare center? Jeese, ML, you are hardcore!

No I don't, although it is fairly common around here (lots 'o diplomat kids...)

The main issue is that I don't want private corporations deciding for themselves what the law is or is not. Do you?

All true, but until this law is challenged in the Supreme Court (whether state or federal) it is the law and seeing as it rather explicitly describes what this guy did as 100% legal, Disney will most assuredly lose all lower court rulings until it gets to the Supreme Court level.
