TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) - Florida residents would be able to keep
firearms in their vehicles while at work under a bill approved by a
House council today.
This is the first time the Legislature has taken up the issue
this year.
A similar bill failed in a committee last year, though it didn't
require the gun owner to have a concealed weapons permit, as this
year's bill does.
Both sides of the issue agree that the proposal comes down to a
matter of property rights. The bill's backers say an individual has
the right to carry a firearm in his or her private vehicle.
Opponents say business owners have the right to prohibit guns on
their property.
