Armed teachers in Texas, and now Disney is backing away from its total employee gun ban stance

NEW YORK (Associated Press) - Walt Disney World is revising its employee gun ban policy.

That's according to a company memo obtained Friday.

With the change, some Disney employees will be allowed to keep a gun locked in a car as long as the employee has a concealed-weapons permit, the gun isn't visible, and the weapon isn't taken out of the car.

Good. That's logical. A firearm in a glove box poses no threat or danger to anyone. Yes, someone could get ticked and drive back home to go to their car to pick up their gun, but if you're looking at protecting people by making things slightly inconvenient for the attacker, well, you're doing it wrong.

However, I feel this might be a distraction in the war on rights. An armed society, regardless of how easy it is to remain armed without interference, is useless when those who are armed are filled with apathy. A gun locked in a glove box is as useless as a gun on the hip of someone who can't be bothered to defend all rights, not just the one that lets him or her bear arms.
