So reports the Orlando Sentinel. It doesn't state the legal theory, and I have trouble envisioning one, or at least one that might win.

This statement hasn't been accurate since the Ollie's Barbecue case and the 1964 Civil Rights Act. A solid majority of American's disagree with it's nineteenth century view of property rights. Like "fire exit" signs, service dog access, and dedicated handicapped parking spaces, when a property owner invites others on to his or her property, he or she invites more than their money, they "invite" their employees'/customers' personal rights too. The Massa don't live on 'de Plantation no more!

"Private property does not belong to the public. Employing a large staff, providing services to lots of customers, or permitting public access to a parking lot is not sufficient to transform private property into public. The litmus test for private property is ownership."

Hopefully this sort of thing will not only be upheld but spread to other states...my car is MY property, and denying the right to have a gun in it at work also means I can't have a gun when I'm en route to and from work...it infringes on MY rights when I'm in my car, which lots of states consider an extension of the home.
