This regulation will do nothing to improve public safety. In spite of fear mongering by people who are afraid of firearms, allowing concealed carriers to carry in public buildings hasn't resulted in more shootings. A realistic look at the issue will show that the overwhelming majority of multiple shootings have taken place in gun free zones. A person intent on commiting a crime is not deterred by a law. To paraphrase our Founding Fathers and others, laws that disarm the law abiding simply make things easier for criminals and tyrants. Do not take away citizens right to self protection simply because they go into a building paid for by tax dollars.
