FLA passes bill on rt. to have gun in locked car while at work

It's passed both houses and is on to the governor, who says he will probably sign it.

If you're in FLA, you might want to note (a) some forms of this bill only covered CCW holders; I don't know what the final form does; (b) it would go into effect July 1.

Someone has to come up with a shorter title for this sort of legislation. "Bill that allows a person to have a gun in their locked car while at work and parked in the lot of an employer whose policies forbid having a gun in a parked car" is too long. "Castle Doctine," "No Retreat," "shall-issue" worked nicely, but these bills are hard to describe!
