“IT was narrowly focused to this one building with hundreds of employees and I didn’t feel I had all the information on liability, etc. But it did pass. And now that we are letting this particular building carry guns, I think it’s only fair to allow the building in outlying areas, that really do deserve and need to have them, be allowed to have them. I will work towards that.”
I am so glad to be hearing your side of what happened. You are absolutely correct. How many of your employees work in remote areas on roads or other projects, a long, long way from any response from the Sheriff?
Thank you again for taking the time to give us the inside story.
I remember my father working as a State surveyor for the State Highway Department in the 1960s. They routinely carried a gun or two among them, and there was no problem. All of these prohibitions have been slowly pushed onto us to demonize the ownership of firearms over the years.
Heck, I even brought a pistol to a federally funded crew that I was working on about 1970. We worked out in the woods and had informal target contests (where I won back my poker losses) at lunch. No one said “boo”.
I just found out that Supervisor Johnson put this back on the agenda for our special Board meeting on Monday. I bet that’s what it’s about. I will keep you posted.
