OPPOSE State Agency weapon ban
 

I strongly oppose any move to ban citizens from excersing their constititonal rights in public buildings, including all State agency buildings. Lawful concealed handgun permit holders are the most law-abiding group of individuals in the Commonwealth. The State doesn't have the right to curtail and limit freedom based merely on political whims. There was no supporting evidence to enact this kind of power play. This kind of ban will not make State Buildings any safer.  In fact, it will make people less safe as it will turn state buildings into "gun free zones" where criminals are free to carry out evil deeds.
