FLORIDA - The three year gun battle between the N-R-A and the Florida Chamber Of Commerce has ended in a draw… at least for now.

A federal judge upheld the law allowing employees to keep guns locked in their cars while they're at work… but his interpretation weakened the law.

When the law took effect in July... All employees and customers could keep guns in their cars in the parking lots of Florida businesses.

Now only employees who are licensed can take guns to their work places.

Florida Chamber Of Commerce Spokesman Dan Krassner sees the ruling as a win for Florida businesses.

"The good news is that visitors and customers coming on private property, the court sided with the Florida Chamber in that, that employees should be able to limits those visitors."

The N-R-A is also claiming victory…

No word yet on whether or not either side will appeal the judge's decision.Gun Law Ruling
