Constitutional Law

Disney firing security guard: the legal end of things

Editorial here. Apparently when FLA passed the provision allowing employees to leave firearms in their cars, business interests began pushing for exemptions. Nuclear plants. Places whose primary business is making explosives. And then businesses holding a federal explosives permit. You need one of those for serious fireworks, and so Disney of course has one.

UPDATE: ah, but reader rufx2 points out, the bill's exemption (skim to line 214) covers only those federally licensed to "to engage in the business of importing, manufacturing, or dealing in explosive materials on such property" (or whose primary business is making explosives). Maybe Disney has a license to import, manufacture and deal, but a license to store and use explosives doesn't qualify.
