MANATEE COUNTY, Fla. — Leaders in Manatee County unanimously passed a new rule allowing concealed weapons in government workplaces on Tuesday.

It includes any building or vehicle the county owns, operates, or any place where a Manatee County employee is conducting county business.

But there are exceptions — you cannot carry a weapon in courthouses, courtrooms, polling places, or any schools, even if you're an employee.

The county will also not allow an employee to openly carry a gun in public.
