So I'm having trouble seeing what good this will do in terms of "protection." In other words, if you can't bring the gun into the office, it does you no good when the "gone postal" worker shows up with his arsenal. (Excuse me, sir, while I step out to my car...?) It only does you good when you're on the road and does allow you to transport it from home to wherever else you might travel, but again, your options for removing it from the car "for protection" are limited.Bittyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13328808801958155196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14702232.post-42457595137585605372008-04-09T21:27:00.000-04:002008-04-09T21:27:00.000-04:00A lot of people already have weapons in their cars...A lot of people already have weapons in their cars. This just seems to get them around the part where you have to keep the ammo in a separate locked compartment of the car.

While I was running my shootout-free errands, I listened to a news story on this. In its wisdom, the legislature did NOT exempt day cares or automatic weapons. <BR/><BR/>And Governor Crist, in his bid for Number One Observatory Circle, is ecstatic and plans to sign. His comment on the radio -- and I can't find a transcript yet -- was very much along the lines of "what the framers of the constitution intended, blah blah." <BR/><BR/><I>My guess is that this won't survive the inevitable property-rights challenge from business owners.</I><BR/><BR/>Do not overestimate the Florida judiciary, Phil.
