Gun Toting Disney employee suspended

[Disneybridein2k3]

Just out of curiousity, did you post this as a pro-Disney (no guns in cars) stance or Anti-Disney (go ahead and carry your gun and leave it in your car) stance....maybe I am having a hard time seeing it I bet you can google many stories on both sides of the argument, maybe some clearer than this one.....I am getting from this story that Thompson is going a bit crazy and may just have been carrying a gun in his car regardless of any laws/policy. Those who have tendencies to this behavior (aka criminals) will do whatever they want regardless.of what laws or work policies are out there. Personally, I find this whole discussion rather interesting. No good answer.

Sorry I wasn't clear on this matter. I support Disney's decision to ban guns in cars. I just got to hear the podcast yesterday and loved the way Corey explained it - by allowing it, there is no "cooling off" period so people who are normally responsible but had a seriously bad day at work can't just go home with a nice cold beer (or whatever their drink of choice is) and just chill. No, it won't happen every day but if it happens once it is one too many times. And yes, I get that a law won't prevent it from happening. But, it makes it all the more likely if you know the gun is there and you are already "seeing red" about a situation. I have kids too and when we visit WDW, I know I wouldn't want a CM who just went off the deep end to go back to his/her car, get the gun and bring it in the park and go postal. Again, not saying it will happen but if the temptation is there... I would never dream of taking away someone's 2nd amendment rights (we have 2 guns in our house, locked in a safe) - we put our 14 year old through a gun safety course through the police dept (the 2 year old is still too little) - but I just know how easy it is for people to snap like the guy in the story. Sorry that I came off sounding like a bi*@! on this.

You didn't at all....just passionate. Nothing wrong with that. Our DH's share the same career...at times that alone can make us see things with a stronger point of view on certain topics. I am still on the fence, but leaning towards the state on this one. (Not leaning towards that stupid "I wanna be a martyr for gun toters" moron, though.....Disney should sack him.)
