Florida Attorney General Enforcing Gun Rights Law: A.G. Bill McCollum Seeking Complaints From Citizens Regarding the Guns to Work Law

A recently enacted state law in Florida allows citizens to keep their lawfully owned firearms locked in their vehicles while they are at work. In the past certain employers, such as Disney World, would prohibit the lawful possession of a firearm on their property. This had the unfortunate effect of denying thousands of citizens their right to self-defense. If a citizen went to work without a lawfully owned and carried firearm due to the employer’s policy, that same citizen would be unable to defend themselves that evening in the parking lot of the grocery store when they stopped to pick up a few things for the family dinner.

A spokeswoman for Florida Attorney General Bill McCollum has said that individuals can file complaints with the Attorney General’s office if their right to have a firearm, locked in their privately owned vehicle in a parking lot, for self-protection and other lawful purposes is being violated by a business.

To file a complaint, please contact the Attorney General’s office by phone at 866-966-7226 or click here. Attorney General McCollum can be reached via email at ag.mccollum@myfloridalegal.com.
