I'm a state employee.  I work in a county-owned building.  My office is state-leased.  The building has no security personnel.  My job involves making unpopular decisions (denying permits) that can cost private citizens great financial loss.  Sometimes these citizens become irate.  I now have a sign on my office door that says guns are banned in my office.

Does anyone think that the sign on our office door is going to prevent a criminal from committing a crime with a gun?  The sign should say "sitting ducks".  Although as a state employee (non-law enforcement) I am not allowed to carry a weapon, I would prefer that anyone coming into our office have a doubt as to whether or not any of us have a gun.

This gun ban sends a signal to criminals that we are unarmed and defenseless.  Thank you Governor for making me feel unsafe at work.  Do you think that posting a speed limit sign will prevent a habitual speeder from speeding?  Do you think that banning Big Gulps will prevent someone from going to the grocery store and buying a 5-pound bag of sugar?

This proposed law is so ridiculous it's embarrassing.  Criminals will pay no attention to the gun ban.  Law abiding citizens will be less safe.
