Gov. Crist signs FLA commuter self defense law

Just got word from United Sportsmen of Florida--it's been signed into law (note it may not take immediate effect, State legislation often goes into effect X days after end of the session).

I’m glad for my fellow Floridians. But, it doesn’t change anything for me. I am a university professor and my employer can still (and would) fire me for having a weapon locked in my trunk, something perfectly legal under Florida law, because schools are exempt from the new law. I don’t know why my life is any less valuable than most Floridians, but it seems to be under this new law. The only thing that may save me is that I have tenure.

They give themselves a head start on getting out of town?

Perfect. You have your choice of two headlines:

1. "Tenured Prof Fired for Hidden Gun in Car"
or
2. "Prof Claims Hidden Gun is 'Research'"

If only the people had tenure for their rights...

Who's the hidden funding behind these coalitions?
Good news day today!

Jim,

I like the "research" angle.
