Disney claims to be exempts from new state gun law
 
ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) -- Walt Disney World believes it is exempt from a new state law that allows Florida residents to keep firearms in their vehicles while at work, according to an internal memo obtained by a newspaper.

Under the bill, which took effect Tuesday, businesses cannot prohibit employees or customers from keeping a legally owned gun locked inside their cars, as long as the owner has a permit to carry a concealed weapon.

However, the bill states that property owned or leased by an employer who has a permit required by federal law to manufacture, use, store or move explosives would still be off limits. Disney has a permit for its fireworks shows.

The loophole was lobbied for by a group of lawyers that represented groups and businesses that included Disney, the Sentinel reports.

Shannon McAleavey, Disney World Vice President of Public Affairs, said in the memo that, with some exceptions, "this law does not apply to Walt Disney World Co. owned and leased properties."

The Orlando Sentinel obtained the memo. A Disney spokesman confirmed it circulated last week.

Disney spokeswoman Zoraya Suarez told The Associated Press that the company maintains a zero-tolerance policy, and said "anyone bringing a gun on property can expect to be subject to discipline."

The “happiest place in the world”.  Now, only the mice will have guns.  

That’s too bad there is a loop-hole because someone there may need to protect themselves on their way home or when they get home.  Will say it also shows how good the lawyers are for Disney were with their proactive efforts on behalf of their client.

What it comes down to, is that when you travel and you go into a hotel and you see a sign that says “NO PETS”?  Well, all hotels take pets … some just don’t know it.

Having worked for the mouse, i can tell you, getting into an employee parking lot is harder then most of you would think...

They are gated, lots of gaurds, you are asked to produce ID( several times thru out the day)  There are signs every where about recording devices, there is a very strick non discloser contract you must sign and a rule book a mile thick of which you must sign that you agree.  The only time I've had some one dig into my background more then they did was when I was working a on a nuclear power plant.

So now here is the question, you signed all that before the laws was passed, Do you stick to you word or do you break it?

Yes, We all know that TAB won't be convinced until a flaming bush tells him "Thou shall carry where thou pleaseth." And maybe not then.

Disney is just trying to avoid future repair expenses... imagine working the "It's a small world" ride on a daily basis.  I'm as cool headed as the next guy, but sooner or later that song just gets to you!   It would make one hell of a shooting gallery!
