Florida passes guns at work bill

The Tampa Tribune has this story:

TALLAHASSEE - In a major victory for the gun lobby, lawmakers have approved legislation that would allow Floridians to bring a gun to work as long as the owners have a permit and the gun is locked inside their car.
The Senate's vote Wednesday follows last month's House's approval, sending the guns-at-work bill to Gov. Charlie Crist, who is expected to sign the bill into law.
Like the House, the Senate's Republican majority was forced to choose between the right to bear arms and private property rights, each supported by powerful special interests. The bill was approved in a 26-13 vote along party lines. . . .
