Do you think workers should have ready access to loaded firearms in the parking lots of nearly every employer in Florida?
We need your support. Tell us whether you think nearly every employer in Florida should be forced to rip-up longstanding policies that prohibit guns on company property. Would you feel safer, or less safe, if company parking lots were filled with cars and trucks with easily accessible firearms and loaded guns?
More than 400 people die every year in workplace shootings, but the gun lobby is now asking Florida lawmakers to take away your freedom to a gun-free, and a violence-free workplace. This issue affects the safety of every employee in Florida.
Senate Bill 2356 and House Bill 1417 would keep businesses from maintaining longstanding policies that prohibit employees from bringing weapons to work in their cars.
If these bills are enacted into law, employers would be denied the ability to ask if an employee has a gun hidden in the car, regardless of whether the business suspects the person of wrongdoing.
Schools are exempted from the bills, to protect safe environments for our children.
However, many other places that children frequent, such as toy stores, amusement parks, and video game arcades, would be prevented from keeping guns out of their parking lots.
Even companies that have experienced first-hand the trauma that comes with a workplace shooting would not be allowed to prohibit people bringing guns to work in their vehicles if these bills became law.
