A Florida man reportedly brought multiple guns to a family vacation at Disney World over fears about nearby Black Lives Matter protesters.
An unnamed 43-year-old man from Palm Beach Gardens, Florida brought an AR-15 assault rifle and a handgun, along with a large amount of ammunition, during a family trip on Labor Day weekend due to fears that his family could be in danger from protesters, according to a report from theThe paper reports that the man brought the carried the guns in a tennis bag while checking into the Polynesian Village Resort on September 5, citing a police report.
"Our policy is clear that weapons of any kind are not allowed at our resort regardless of whether someone has a permit," a Disney spokesperson said in a statement obtained byThe Orange County Sheriff's Office was alerted to the incident after a bellman carrying the man's unusually heavy bag noticed the guns inside, which prompted his manager to contact police.
Disney World reopened in July, about four months after the Florida resort had been closed over public health concerns caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.The police report states that when questioned by officers about the weapons, the man said that"he brought the rifle with him for their safety because of the riots and civil unrest going on down south and in the Central Florida area," according to the paper.
Like many areas throughout the country, protests against racial injustice and police brutality have been ongoing in the Orlando area, where Disney World is located. However, no related protests have been reported at the resort itself, nor have resort guests been targeted for any sort of physical attacks by protesters.
Given the evil reach of the BLM mobocracy, it's hard to totally blame the poor guy.
MichaelPicano How is he going “on vacation” if he already lives here?
He’s probably one of the guys that tells mask wearers to stay home if you’re so scared.
I knew where it was going when it said 'Florida man'
Y’all fools let fox control y’all brains lol
Florida man should turn off Fox News and chill tf out 😂 😆
Nvm this is peak America
Romy_USA Mentally ill people can own and carry guns in Florida?
OMG that headline is 2020 in a nutshell. Nice job. Did he put on his “damn mask”?
Good, a smart man is always ready to protect his family, and Newsweek can suck a fat MAGA cock.
Keep letting them riot, and kill people, and that's what ya gonna get.
Just a preview of what’s coming
If only the propaganda about BLM protesters spewed by the radical right kept these people home. If only.
Florida FTW again
Hmm... seems a lot like a movie I once watched.. Walt Griswold getting his family to Wally World, but in 2020 MediaTryHards
Disney have a new movie plot, 'Honey I Shot the Kid'! FFS Gun Control Now!
Sounds pretty normal for Florida.
SophiaLipschul1 I bet he got picked up other wise it would not BOn Twitter...such a goof
Sick
newsweek is so confusing with its headlines, Im leaning toward the publication promoting this as a good thing.
A sentence that starts with “Florida man,” never finishes good.
Now lets imagine if a moslem man was caught bringing an AR-15 and handgun to Disney?
A shooting at DismeyWorld would damage the place in such a way that I would never go again
M-I-C see you real soon. KKK- Y. Why? Because Trump is President that’s why! V-O-T-E please!
Watching too much FOX news lately?
If I were to give you $10,000, what would you spend it on? Food? Clothes ? Your kids? Credit Card Debts? Student Loans? Family? Medical bills? Student Loans? Giving to charity? I'm gonna bless a few people who Like & Retweet. (Must be following me so I can DM you)
Hello,Jesus is the son of God he helped people doing his era now i want to share what God has given and blessed me with.I help people through there bills because I know the society at large needs help and that is what I’m making donations to people who needs financial support.

Ok that’s a bit much. If you think you might need that much firepower, you should probably stay home.
disney
Packing to go to Disneyland takes on a whole new meaning
Lol he was scared to death
A nutcase with a gun is emblematic of the American ethos today under Trump more than ever.....
Sigh.
Florida, man....
Oh ffs.....
Any story that begins Today, in other news,a man from Florida...
never have I traveled packing but I will be traveling with a handgun next trip too, do to all the goofasses rioting, looting, holding traffic hostage and vandalism
The man was within his rights to own and travel with a firearm. It's not anyone's business what he owns or carries. BUT he did violate Disney's policies regarding weapons on their property.
Smh. This is what Trump’s America has become. trumpets DumpTrump2020 vote VoteBidenHarris2020 TrumpIsALaughingStock
What a coward. Just like all AR-15 owners.
Just say “Florida Man”. The story then writes itself and saves keystrokes.
Praise God they caught him in time.
Need to kick Florida out of the country.
To be fair - he has always thought Mickey Mouse was black and had ties to radical groups from the 1960s
Fox News is pure propaganda.
Florida done lost their shit ...
Amazing he can worry about BLM and not the virus.
