Georgia-Pacific markets toilet paper brands including Angel Soft, Quilted Northern and Soft 'n Gentle.

A popular American pulp and paper company has banned employees at its toilet paper plant from storing concealed weapons in their cars while on company property – a move that defies Florida gun law.

Georgia-Pacific cited a Homeland Security exemption from a statute authorizing workers with concealed-weapons permits to have guns locked in their cars because it says the plant handles large amounts of explosive fuel, the Miami Herald reported.

The Palatka, Fla., toilet paper mill's choice to ban concealed weapons has infuriated representatives of the National Rifle Association and highlighted the state legislature's troubles with creating unambiguous laws during its 60-day session.

The business lobby claims the gun-right law infringes on private property owners' rights. Ambiguous wording declares employers exempt from the law if carrying a concealed weapon is "prohibited pursuant to any federal law.''

Democrat Rep. Jack Seiler of Fort Lauderdale said the law has many flaws, and he blamed Republicans for hastily passing it.

Maybe. How do we go about fixing this?

Atleast they arn't ignoring a real law, just a gun law. That's no problem.

Same way we do here in Texas. Find a "flaw," contact your pro-gun state reps and senators and individually and through your state gun organization and press for a change in the law.

Unless you try to put a stock on a pistol, or have an AK w/o the magic parts count. Then it's a big problem.

Do they have an, "explosives permit" like Disney? Maybe they use black powder to "fluff up" the TP?

I always thought that my car was my property. Do they search cars w/o reason?

Why a carry permit?

Why a carry permit? What if I want to toss the old scattergun in the trunk and go trapshooting after work?

I don't know if I am more disturbed at the ban on wepons or that they use large amounts of explosive fuel in making my TP. I can;t boycott the TP makers, I don't have any suitable trees at home that could make do....
