Unless each of these executive locations is going to provide armed security for visitors, this policy needlessly endangers citizens by creating additional areas where citizens are prohibited from protecting themselves. I have no problem with disarming before entering a security controlled State or Federal building because of the fact that all citizens (law abiding and not) are on equal footing. Creation of gun-free areas that disarm law-abiding citizens without actually affecting criminals, and providing no additional security for law-abiding citizens is irresponsible.
