The list keeps growing.
This report in First Coast News:
The Jacksonville Electric Authority joins other Florida companies in deciding not to allow employees to take guns to work, despite a new law.
Since July 1, gun owners who have a concealed weapons permit are allowed to take guns to work as long as they remain locked in their vehicle. The law does provide for exceptions.
Exceptions spelled out in the law give an out to schools, prisons, nuclear power plants, military facilities and buildings that store explosives. The JEA on the advise [sic] of General Counsel's Office says the law does not pertain to the public utility company. City attorney Mary Jarrett told First Coast News since the JEA handles "combustible materials" the law does not apply.
Late last month before the law went into effect, a memo was sent to JEA employees telling them that nothing has changed.
William L. Bland, Manager of Security for JEA, in the memo said, "Firearms will continue to prohibited on JEA property."
The memo goes on to say that JEA employees or contractors doing business with the JEA should not bring guns to any property or have them in their possession.
