A federal court recently looked at Florida’s controversial law granting employees the right to keep guns in workplace parking lots.
The ruling: For the most part, the law will stand.
U.S. District Judge Robert Hinkle took up the case after business groups challenged the rule. When testimony began in June, he called the law “stupid.”
Nonetheless, he upheld the provision allowing employees to keep legally-owned guns locked in their cars at work.
However, he ruled that companies were free to keep customers and other visitors from bringing firearms onto their property.
The parties have until August 19 to appeal. We’ll keep you posted.
