More Companies Claim Gun Law Exemption

July 16th, 2008 by flanews

Another Company is claiming it�s exempt from the state�s new gun law. The guns at work law went into effect on July 1st. The law allows licensed gun owners to keep their guns locked in their cars while they�re at work. Disney says it�s exempt because of a loophole allowing companies that store explosives to keep guns off their property. A Florida paper company is also claiming their exempt because of they use a lot of fuel. Now the Jacksonville Electric Authority says it can keep guns out of its parking lot. NRA lobbyist Marion Hammer said the companies don�t have the exemptions they�re claiming.

�I do not believe that any company that�s claimed an exemption has a valid reason for claiming exemptions. They�re all phony. They�re trumped up,� said Hammer.

An injunction filed to temporary suspend the law was filed in late June. A federal judge is expected to make a decision on the injunction this week.
