Florida lawmakers OK guns-in-cars law

MIAMI, April 10 (UPI) -- Florida lawmakers have approved a new gun-in-locked-car law, siding with the influential gun lobby.

Ending a three-year fight over the proposal, the state Senate gave final approval to a compromise measure allowing employees to stash firearms in their parked cars at work, as long as they have concealed-weapons permits.

Already passed by the House, the bill now goes to the governor who said he would sign it, The Miami Herald reported.
