  6. http://www.sun-sentinel.com/news/local/florida/sfl-guns1002,0,4768146.story?coll=sfla-news-florida Proposed law: Companies can't keep employees from bringing guns to work NRA-backed bills raise freedom, safety concerns Jason Garcia Orlando Sentinel October 2, 2005, 5:54 PM EDT TALLAHASSEE -- Florida businesses could soon face criminal charges if they try to stop employees from bringing guns to work in their cars, thrusting the state into a growing national debate pitting individual freedom against job safety. Backed by the National Rifle Association, two state lawmakers have filed bills that would allow workers to have guns at work, as long as the weapons remain locked in their vehicles. The legislation is modeled after an Oklahoma law that drew national attention when a number of major companies, including energy giant ConocoPhillips and oil-services conglomerate Halliburton, sued to have it overturned. A Florida version could have similarly sweeping effects, particularly in Central Florida, where the region's largest employer -- Walt Disney World, with more than 57,000 workers -- does not allow its employees to bring guns onto park property. Universal Orlando, which employs 13,000 people, has a similar policy. About 353,000 people in Florida, meanwhile, have concealed-weapons permits, according to the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. That figure does not include people who don't need to obtain the licenses, such as police and military personnel. Despite the battle in Oklahoma, supporters are lining up in Tallahassee. The House bill has already attracted 10 co-sponsors. Backers say they are confident they will get the law passed during next year's legislative session, which begins in March. The NRA is among the most powerful groups in Florida politics, wielding an active grass-roots membership and having contributed $330,000 to the Republican Party since 1996, state records show. In the past two years, the group has won approval for measures that protect gun ranges from being forced by governments to clean up lead pollution from bullets, prevent police from creating gun databases and allow people to shoot attackers without first trying to retreat. Marion Hammer, an NRA lobbyist, said the group will make the parking-lot bills (HB 129 and SB 206) a priority in 2006. "For a business to tell you that in order to come onto their property, you have to give up your constitutional right is wrong," Hammer said. Born in Oklahoma Debate about guns in workplace parking lots erupted in 2002, when 12 workers at an Oklahoma paper mill lost their jobs after managers found guns in their vehicles parked on site, a violation of company policy. The state's Legislature responded by passing a law giving employees the right to keep guns locked in their cars at work. Several companies filed suit in a case still winding its way through federal court. The issue gained national attention in August, when the NRA, which says it has 4.3 million members, launched a boycott of ConocoPhillips gas stations. The group also has erected billboards that read "ConocoPhillips is No Friend of the Second Amendment." State Rep. Dennis Baxley, R-Ocala, said he decided to file a Florida bill after learning of the issue through media accounts, NRA publications and conversations with Hammer. "I thought it was a good time for Florida to go ahead and take a position," Baxley said. "What we're trying to do is avert what we see as some backdoor gun control." Under the bills, companies that try to stop workers from bringing in their guns would be committing a third-degree felony, punishable by up to five years in prison and $5,000 in fines. Gun rights invoked Supporters of such laws say they prevent companies from forcing workers to give up their constitutional right to carry firearms. It's important for people to have their gun close at hand, they say, citing examples where employees must walk through dark parking lots after work. "An employer needs to recognize the right of its employees to lawfully defend themselves," said Rep. Joe Negron, R-Stuart, who is running for attorney general and has signed on as a co-sponsor to Baxley's bill. A spokesman for Gov. Jeb Bush said the Governor's Office hasn't reviewed the proposal yet. In an effort to blunt opposition from businesses, Baxley and Senate sponsor Durell Peaden, R-Crestview, included provisions that would shield companies from lawsuits should an employee commit a crime with the gun kept in a car on company property. "I would think that business folks would embrace this readily because it gives them immunity from liability," Hammer said. "They should be happy as clams." An issue of safety But some companies say banning guns from their property isn't an issue of gun control or of liability; it's an issue of safety. They point to reports such as one from the Bureau of Labor Statistics issued earlier this year that showed shootings accounted for three-quarters of the 551 workplace homicides in the United States last year. "If they have to get in the car and drive home to get a gun, chances are they are going to cool down a little bit," said Frank Mendizabal, a spokesman for Weyerhaeuser, which owns the Oklahoma mill that fired employees found with guns in their cars. That the law could protect companies from lawsuits is irrelevant because immunity "doesn't prevent someone from being shot," he said. Peter Hamm, a spokesman for the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, called the proposal a "ridiculous" attempt to ignore property rights in favor of gun rights. "Companies in America should maintain the right to be able to say, 'No guns in the workplace,' " he said. Businesses wary The Florida bills will likely face similar opposition from businesses. "We would be opposed to any effort that would prevent us from determining who can or cannot bring weapons onto our property," Universal spokesman Tom Schroder said. Bill Herrle, a vice president for the Florida Retail Federation, said the group questions whether the proposal would conflict with existing employment law and property rights. "We are going to have some concerns with this," Herrle said, though he said the Retail Federation has yet to discuss the issue with lawmakers. Disney spokeswoman Kim Prunty said the company has not examined the legislation. But she defended Disney's no-guns policy as "in line with our top priority, which is the safety of our cast members and guests." Despite all its successes in recent years, Hamm predicted that the NRA has picked a fight it is unlikely to win. As strong a force as it is in Tallahassee, he said, big business is even stronger. "They've decided to take on the only lobby in America that is arguably more powerful than them, which is the unified business lobby," Hamm said.

  9. THIS MAKES ME SICK AND THAT TAKES A LOT TO MAKE ME FEEL LIKE THIS Hit the link so you can see the picture of the dog with a huge hook in his noise: http://www.thesun.co.uk/article/0,,2-2005450117,00.html Dogs used as shark bait Cruel ... dog with hook through snout FULL NEWS INDEX By IAN HEPBURN STRAY dogs are being skewered on hooks and dragged behind boats as live shark bait, The Sun can shockingly reveal. The cruel practice takes place on French-controlled Reunion Island in the Indian Ocean, where Prince William spent two holidays. A six-month-old labrador pup was recently found ALIVE with a huge double hook through its snout - like the dog above - and another through a leg. The pup was found in a coastal creek and is thought to have somehow freed itself from a fishing line. But other dogs and kittens have been chomped up and swallowed by sharks. The RSPCA plans to petition the French government, demanding an end to the hideous torture. TELL us what you think of the hideous torture by emailing us at talkback@the-sun.co.uk.

  16. Florida tourists warned that locals could shoot them ALASTAIR JAMIESON IT IS Britain's most popular transatlantic holiday destination, attracting more than 1.5 million visitors a year with its sun-drenched beaches, theme parks and wildlife. But Florida's £30 billion tourism industry is under threat from a campaign launched by a gun-control group which warns visitors they could be killed. A series of alarming adverts, to be placed in British newspapers, warns potential tourists about a new law allowing gun owners to shoot anyone they believe threatens their safety. It means thousands of British families who travel to the Sunshine State are now caught up in the ongoing political row over gun control in the United States. The Florida law, supported by the National Rifle Association, was approved by the state legislature in April. The state's governor, Jeb Bush - whose brother is the US president - described it as a "good, commonsense, anti-crime issue". Critics call it the "shoot first" law and say it allows gun owners to shoot if they engage in a simple argument in public. Supporters call it the "stand your ground" law and say criminals will think twice before attacking someone. Previously, gun owners could only use their weapons if they first attempted to withdraw and avoid a confrontation, and were permitted to shoot threatening individuals only inside their home or property. Now they can use "deadly force" if they "reasonably believe" that firing their gun is necessary to prevent a crime or serious injury. The law also effectively prevents civil legal action by victims of such shootings. The Brady Campaign to Control Gun Violence, based in Washington DC, has pledged to "educate" tourists by placing adverts in US cities, and in key overseas markets such as Britain. "Warning: Florida residents can use deadly force," says one of the adverts. Another reads: "Thinking about a Florida vacation? Please ensure your family is safe. In Florida, avoid disputes. Use special caution in arguing with motorists on Florida roads." The Brady Campaign - named after Jim Brady, the spokesman for Ronald Reagan who was paralysed by a gunshot during the 1981 assassination attempt on the then-president - promises to also run adverts in French, German and Japanese newspapers. The campaign officers also plan to hand out leaflets on roads leading into the state. Peter Hamm, the communications director of the Brady Campaign, said: "It's a particular risk faced by travellers coming to Florida for a vacation because they have no idea it's going to be the law of the land. If they get into a road rage argument, the other person may feel he has the right to use deadly force." Tourism officials in Florida are furious at the move. Bud Nocera, the executive director of Visit Florida, said: "It is sad that such an organisation would hold the 900,000 men and women who work in the Florida tourism industry, and whose lives depend on it, hostage to their political agenda." The Association of British Travel Agents yesterday said the posters were "a matter of concern", but said there was unlikely to be a drop in the number of visitors to Florida. It said 1.4 million Britons made the journey last year, attracted by the weather and resorts such as Disneyworld and the Kennedy Space Centre. A spokeswoman said: "We would offer the same advice about Florida as we would any other part of the United States. As far as we are concerned, nothing has changed." More than 80 million tourists from around the world visited Florida last year, boosting an industry that accounts for one-fifth of the state economy I have a feeling a lot of people will be getting killed for no reason...
