I oppose this regulatory action.
 

I'll  never understand how people think that by adding more and more restrictions and regulations on legal gun owners/ conceal carry permit holders will stop crime from happening. If you look at the statistics, gun related crimes are much lower to almost nonexistent in areas that people are armed.  More gun regulations do not and will not work because criminals don't obey laws and regulations. This is why they are called "criminals."  Even some of the most volatile criminals in this state have enough common sense to realize that if a building is filled with armed citizens, then their actions will only end in their being injured or killed. I don't know about everyone else but that's enough to keep me on the straight and narrow. Only someone with a death wish would even consider it. And yes there will be those with that agenda, but fewer than those that will seek to bring harm on those who are "sitting ducks" in a gun free zone.
