Concealed permit

[Promomx2]

I'm not wanting to start a major debate but I just need to know the rule for having a concealed permitted weapon in a resort. Is it allowed? I know they are a no-no in the parks but not sure as to the resort room.

They have a no gun policy throughout the resort.

Never thought about it, but now that I am thinking...how would they know? Nobody is checking bags / people at the resorts.....that goes for any resort in at least the USA that I know of. Scary thought. Thanks a lot OP

Florida has a "bring your gun to work" law, which means a lawful concealed carry permit holder is allowed to lock their weapon in their car. This applies to employees as well as customers. Therefore as long as the weapon is kept in the car it is permitted in both resort and theme park parking lots.

Leave it home. Or in the car in your lock box Never in the resort room. But again Home is best approach

Disney does claim that they are exempt from the bring your gun to work law since they have fireworks on property. An employee sued for being fired for having his weapon in his car, but later dropped the case due to financial reasons so their never has been an official outcome.

Disney says to keep it in the car, it is lawful for you to carry on if you wish, however if discovered (not sure how) you'll be asked to store it in the car..I have heard of being offered front desk safe storage as well but I have no personal experience with that at WDW..I did over hear it offered to someone at DLR

If the whole place is a no gun zone, is security armed?

 

[yesmylove]

Is this not something that the new security room checks are looking for?

 

[Nohal]

Out of curiosity, why would you bring a gun to Disney?

I'm not sure about the resorts, but it's not allowed in Disney Springs, so I would assume the resorts would be the same? An off duty CM were told to leave the property when it was discovered he had a concealed weapon in Disney Springs last November, but when they realised he was a CM he was suspended and then fired.

Disney Security is not armed (and I wouldn't trust them to be, yikes). The Orange County police, who do patrol at the parks, are armed with their usual service weapons.

We took our gun when we drove overnight from NJ. We felt safer with it when we stopped at rest stops for bathroom breaks. We kept it in the safe in our room while at Disney.

You think that finds anything?

 

[skyblue17]

I would hope not. Can you imagine the chaos if a bunch of people with concealed carry weapons took matters into their own hands in Disney-sized crowds? Yikes.

But, alas, it will.

Probably only arsenals, not just a single hand gun.

They're not doing actual TSA-style checks in the rooms where they actually rifle through everyone's stuff. They just have the right to open the door and do more checking if needed. The staff has the right to check that everything is okay in the room even if you have a sign hanging. Chances are, the policy is no different than at many major hotels, where it's not made as clear.

Someone post if they have actual knowledge that's different.

We are 2A, pro-gun, pro-self-defense, pro- all of that stuff. That said, we do not bring firearms to Disney, in recognition of current security efforts and the subsequent policies. Hell, I even leave my pocket knife home, which I otherwise carry every day.

 

[DisBuckMan]

Mine is like the old American Express commercial...."Don't leave home without it". I wouldn't dream of attempting to bring it into a park, but since we drive to Disney, it's always in the vehicle.
