Disney Employee Challanges Disney On Hangun Law


Edwin Sotomayor, a security guard at Disney’s Animal Kingdom, is challenging Disney on their stance that the park is exempt from the new gun law passed in Florida. Sotomayor has been suspended from his job after he refused to allow Disney managers and Orange County Sheriff Deputies search his car. Managers drove Sotomayor to their offices, questioned him then sent him to his normal job. After four hours, managers told him he was suspended. Disney said that Sotomayor was suspended because he wouldn’t cooperate with their investigation.

Sotomayor has indicated he is willing to test the new law even if he loses his job over it. He says he is testing the law on his own case and not for groups like the National Rifle Association.
