Instapundit links to story reporting on Florida recently passing a law prohibiting businesses from keeping employees from bringing locked and stored weapons on to their premise. I won’t deny thats its nice to see legislator actually passing legislation that supports my constitutional right, butI ultimately I can’t support this bill. Since these are private companies they should be allowed to determine for themselves as to whether their employees can or can not bring firearms to work. In my view its not the state’s business to tell private companies that they must allow employees to bring firearms on their property.

If you are generally antipathetic towards guns and find my current position interesting, don’t get too excited. I also don’t think the state should tell private companies not to discriminate or build handicap accessible infrastructure. Unless their is explicit harm being done, the state should keeps its hand off private property.
