FLA court delays challenge to parking lot self defense

Story here. Florida enacted a requirement that employers allow CCW permittees to leave firearms in a locked car in their parking lots, the Chamber of Commerce filed a challenge, and the judge ruled that he had some other, more serious matters, to attend to, come back in July.

The mystery to me is: it's a federal suit. Where's the federal issue? The only thing the story discusses is a claim that, since it only applies to businesses that have at least one CCW licensed employee, it's somehow hard to determine whether you are covered, that makes it "irrational" and thus unconstitutional. As the saying goes, I hope they didn't take that case on a contingency.

Hat tip to reader Jack Anderson.
