This was obviously just an accident. You know, kinda like when a CM dancing in a parade knocks down a little girl. Complete accident. Thus, no reason to hold anyone accountable. Right? Hmmm...

It's hard not to turn it political. Only in the USA would someone feel they need to have a loaded gun on them at Disney World.

I doubt that the CM got up that morning with the plan of knocking down a guest. As opposed to sticking your handgun in your pants and heading off to WDW.This was obviously just an accident.

Although I don't assume that people would never have a need to protect themselves at WDW...and don't have a problem with people carrying guns there, which I'm sure happens every day...I do have a problem with a person who is careless enough to set up a wildly dangerous situation.
They make things that allow guns to be carried in a safe, secure manner. He should have taken his weapon seriously enough to invest a few dollars in such a product.
There is no excuse for leaving a loaded gun in a public place filled with children. None.
At the very least, he should lose his permit to carry. He isn't responsible enough to carry. He's already proved that.

You are incorrect - "careless" display of a firearm is actually a crime in Florida (misdemeanor). It's one of the most commonly prosecuted gun laws in the state. And I can't think of anything more careless than this.

I would only support metal detectors if they also brought in K-9 units to sniff us all before entry. And maybe full body x-ray scanners for the non-Florida residents.

Thanks! thats my thought... it always makes me chuckle because plain as day says "RayBan" on the tiny case... but yet a FULLY packed stroller can zoom right though and it gets a glance. I know that security is really just their to help create the sense of safety and keep people from doing really stupid stuff. But, an eyeglass case.. ha
Guess the moral of my story is this... If you want to bring something into the parks, rent a stroller. lol

I doubt that the guest got up that morning with the plan of leaving a gun behind at a Disney attraction.

But that guest did get up that morning knowing full well that he shouldn't bring the weapon into the park in the first place. I know we keep talking about the man being stupid, but he isn't that stupid.

I'm ok with it as long as they frisk me also
No. But if he was a Responsible gun owner it would not just simply be in his pocket.
He would have it holstered properly.

Maybe I'm missing something...? Why only non-Florida residents?I would only support metal detectors if they also brought in K-9 units to sniff us all before entry. And maybe full body x-ray scanners for the non-Florida residents.
Story has been updated to include comments from Disney that no weapons of any kind are allowed in its park and if that is posted on their website.

There is simply NO reason to bring a gun to WDW. This guy is a (*#%#$ idiot. Simple as that.
Oh, here we go. Sue everyone! Clearly there's enough negligence to go around!This was obviously just an accident. You know, kinda like when a CM dancing in a parade knocks down a little girl. Complete accident. Thus, no reason to hold anyone accountable. Right? Hmmm...

Thank you, I stand corrected then.
Bring on the law and prosecute him as it permits.
Indeed, he was quite careless here.
Many may disagree with this, and you're entitled, but personally, I wish there were more armed, properly educated and trained citizens in public, and yes, even in the parks (if they permitted it). Not that I'm advocating anyone violate Disney's rules against carrying guns or weapons into the parks, but after some of the recent events in which crazy people tried to harm others via acts of terrorism in a public place, it would just make me feel a little more at ease when being in a public setting with so many strangers. That's not to say that I'm scared or anxious when out in public, but I promise you, I am more of aware of my surroundings and the people close by and what they're doing. Unfortunately, we live in a time with ever-increasing acts of violence being committed by more and more "crazies", and I think the best prevention for such acts is a well armed, educated and properly trained public. Again, I'm not saying that I will or am carrying a gun into Disney to make myself feel safe, nor would I suggest anyone else do it, but if it were allowed, I just might. But, rest assured it would be properly secured to prevent such a stupid thing as what happened here.
