State OKs Disney’s Gun Policy
Saturday, August 16, 2008 7:41:12 AM
TALLAHASSEE -- Walt Disney World's claim that its theme parks and resort are exempt from Florida's new Guns to Work law has the backing of the State Attorney General.
Disney issued a new policy Friday after discussions with Tallahassee.
The new policy allows guns at about a half dozen more off-site Disney properties, which are under the guidelines of the law.
The person must have a concealed weapons permit, and the weapon must remain out of site, in the vehicle, and locked up.
However, the Disney policy said the Walt Disney World Resort is exempt from the law, which means employees and guests cannot bring guns on property under any circumstances because Disney qualifies for the exemption as a company with a fireworks permit.
The Florida Attorney General's Office has confirmed to News 13 that they believe the new Disney policy complies with the law.
Meanwhile, a security officer was fired July 7 for bringing a gun to work.
