SUBJECT: SB-2356 To Protect Possession of Firearms in Vehicles in Parking Lots

WE NEED YOUR HELP TO PASS SB-2356 by Senator Durell Peaden, To Stop Corporate giants from trampling 2nd Amendment and privacy rights.

Sen. Durell Peaden's bill is now available for the Senate floor and a vote by the full Senate. You should immediately begin contacting Florida Senators in support of SB-2356.

Your constitutional rights and statutory rights DO NOT END when you cross from one piece of asphalt, upon which you drive -- to one upon which you park.

This bill is about people. People are more important than a chunk of asphalt parking lot. You don't stop being a person when you accept employment or become a customer.

Your right of self-defense and your right to possess and transport legal personal property for lawful purposes like hunting and target shooting, ARE NOT superseded by anti-gun business owners who want your money but try hijack your Constitutional and legal rights.

This bill is about protecting the rights of the people against big corporations who are trampling constitutional and statutory rights.

This bill doesn't take away any property rights; it doesn't give any property rights.

It protects EXISTING personal property rights of customers and employees.

The blatantly anti-gun Florida Chamber of Commerce and the Florida Retail Federation are trying to dream up or manufacture rights for big business bullies while trampling existing rights of law-abiding citizens.

IN FACT, they are working with the Brady Campaign and the Million Mom March organization and have formed a new anti-gun business organization called "Floridians Against Workplace Violence" into which they can funnel corporate money to fight to take away your 2nd Amendment rights and your privacy rights. Pro-gun members of the various Chambers of Commerce and Florida Retail Federation should be outraged that they are paying dues to anti-gun business organizations that are trying to destroy your individual rights.

SB-2356 will stop anti-gun businesses from searching the private vehicles of customers and employees in parking lots and will stop punitive action against people who keep firearms in their vehicles for self-defense and other lawful purposes.

Big corporations want property rights for themselves but none for employees or customers.

This bill protects a person's right to have legal property that is lawfully possessed and locked -- out of sight -- inside a personal private vehicle. A private vehicle, by the way, that is an extension of your home.

The simple truth is some corporate businesses want our money but they don't respect people or our rights. They expect you to cease to be a person when you accept the invitation of business to come spend your money in their amusement parks and their stores.

And despite their claims, NO business entity has a right to void your rights or coerce or intimidate an employee into giving up those rights.

Some corporate giants are even attempting to coerce and intimidate gunowners into giving up constitutional rights as a condition of employment.

Your Rights are in Danger. You must act now to protect your rights.

TAKE ACTION NOW -- CONTACT Senators today.

Tell them to Stop Corporate giants from trampling the right to keep and bear arms, the right of self-defense and privacy rights. Urge them to support SB-2356 by Sen. Peaden.
