Attacks, CCW, and the Law
As a part time job, I teach adult education classes as a private contractor. What I do is hold seminars and classes on a contract/fee basis for various companies, churches, and private groups. Many of these are done late at night.
Last week, when leaving one of my classes, a female student was robbed and beaten on the way to her car. This particular site was located in the south side of Orlando, a city which is now the 18th most dangerous city in the US. Florida law states that the following places (among others) are off limits to concealed carry: Quote:
Nor do I feel like they are career centers, as the law in other places defines a career center in specific terms. For example: Quote:
or this one: Quote:
I am wondering just how much leeway there is in this.

Cops are not lawyers, and know very little of the law.

The city has an Attorney on retainer. But the State's Attorney General's Office should be able to give you a legal reading on your question.
Aside from that, you take your chances.

Divemedic, in exactly what kind of buildings do you give your seminars?
And is open carry permitted? |

Office buildings, churches, businesses. Open carry is not legal in Florida.

I think the best bet for defining the term "career centers" would be section 1001.44 of Title XLVIII (K-20 Education Code):
Quote:

It should be fairly easy for you to find out whether the programs you teach are under such control. The people administering the programs you teach should know whether or not they are part of a "career center" as used in the Education Code. Of course, I am not offering legal advice, and the foregoing is just to point you in what I hope is the right direction. |
