This regulation has created safe working environments for the very people you say you are defending against, i.e., violent offenders with guns.  It renders the law abiding employees of the state of Virginia and the visitors to state buildings LESS safe and LESS able to resist violent attacks.  What did your employees do to you to deserve this treatment?  What have I done as a citizen and user of state services to deserve this?  This regulation has no benefit, only cost.  There was no problem to solve before this "emergency" regulation.  Making it permanent will start a trend of violent offenses in state buildings where there was no pattern of such offenses before.  This is not an intelligent policy for the times of terrorist attacks that have been happening almost weekly recently.  Tell the TRUTH.  Armed law-abiding citizens are Virginia's best defense against crime and terrorism.  Stop trying to neuter us.
