These regulations should not be approved and the emergency regulation withdrawn. The proposed regulation is horribly misguided and plays into the hands of terrorists, violent criminals, and the criminally insane.  We have had no shootings in state agencies and this prohibition on those with a concealed handgun permit, some of whom have active and ongoing threats to their lives, is entirely without any justification and needlessly and recklessly endangers innocent lives.

But the most roublesome aspect of the proposed action is the lack authority for this regulation.  If the General Assembly wanted the Governor to have such power, they would have granted it to him explicitly, as is required constitutionally.

Please extended the comment period for another 30 days.

Thank you,
