Packing heat got Steven Collazo sacked.
The Boca Raton man now is suing his former employer, the Florida subsidiary of a national funeral-home company, claiming his firing last month violated a new state law that allows people with concealed-weapons permits to have their firearms locked in their cars on workplace property.
The case is believed to be the first in South Florida since the law took effect July 1.
