Stage | Emergency/NOIRA |

This proposed regulation is a solution for which there is no problem. It endangers state employees, law abiding citizens, and the innocent by making state buildings a safe zone for terrorists, criminals, and the criminally insane to conduct their evil and savage actions. We have had no shootings in state agencies and this prohibition on those with a concealed handgun permit (among the most law-abiding citizens of the Commonwealth), some of whom have active and ongoing threats to their lives, is entirely without any justification and needlessly and recklessly endangers innocent lives. Disarming good citizens (who are the only ones likely to obey the prohibition) does not make them safer.
The proposal would also have the following unsatisfactory results:
This regulation should not be approved and the emergency regulation should be withdrawn.
Please extended the comment period for another 30 days.
Thank you.
