So does Disney have the right to not allow firearms on property have precedence over a concealed carry permit ?

Yes. As it is private property, the owner (in this case Disney) can state whatever rules they wish regarding firearms or any other materials on their private property.

I have no idea what FL law says about that. Having said that, adults have the right to purchase alcohol in FL, does WDW allow you to tote in your own booze?

Yes. Theyre fully within their rights to not permit ANY WEAPONS OF ANY SORT on their property.

Of course, you can get your concealed carry permit in florida for $49 according to a billboard I saw in Pine Hills...

Thank's.
I feel that this person should be banned from all Disney parks for life.For the simple reason that he broke Disney rules.Nothing to do with gun ownership (his was legal so no issue there).

Nope, they don't. You can't bring offsite booze in the parks (legally)...not that people don't sneak in mini bottles to spike their Dole Whips!

On the Parks, Disney can pretty much dictate what they will and will not tolorate.

Even in a strip mall, we had the right to ban weapons from our stores, and more than once, I've had to inform someone that their permit doesn't mean they can walk into a CEC armed. Sometimes it went over well, and the person walked outside and put their gun in their car. Sometimes it meant that I barred them entrance, and they complained to corporate legal, which...informed them...they had no case.

But does the permit over-ride Disneys rights?

Not into the theme parks.

Here's the prohibited items list.

No, it does not.

Then he should be banned.Simples. ignorance of the policies is no excuse.

Well, I dunno about banning. Not a huge fan of that. But, I do think that the fact he lost a firearm should raise eyebrows at the state level and lead to concern about his ability to properly care for and maintain control of a firearm (which is really what licensing is all about)...

As I said before...you don't just "lose" a handgun.

Here in KY adults can purchase tobacco products. I don't allow smoking in my home, it upsets the dog. I have many friends who smoke and they know my rule and they step outside.
Whether the guy we've been discussing honestly felt as though he was "within his rights" or not is moot. He is NOT a responsible gun owner, permit or not.

a loooooong class and surprisingly a very intensive test on gun safety.

Agreed. And just for the record i have no issues with legal firearm ownership (growing up in a household (in the uk) with a father who regularly shoots at competition level)

No.

Here's the statue.

My point exactly. Private entities obviously have the right to set Rules and Regulations for activities, behavior and actions on their property.
Some gun owners seem to feel that their "permit" overrides all other concerns. Guess what? It doesn't.
The "right to own a firearm" is not without restrictions. No "right" is.
Regarding alcohol: I picture some sweatpants and wife beater wearing redneck showing up at the gate to the MK pulling their wheeler cooler loaded with a 30 pack of Bud Lite saying, "But I bought it legally".

And yet a gun fell "out of a pocket" on a ride in AK.

Ok, that was funny no matter who you are.
