I oppose this regulation
 

As a law-abiding Virginian, I strongly oppose this regulation.

For starters, where is the evidence to support the need for it? How many incidents have taken place in Executive Branch offices already?

Without compelling evidence, what could possibly justify removing Virginians' innate right of self defense while in Executive Branch facilities?

This regulation is baseless and will only serve to make us law abiding Virginians defenseless against evil -- like the innocents who were gunned down in a government facility in San Bernadino, California last December. Don't make us the next defenseless victims to such evil. Oppose this regulation!

Respectfully, Kenneth R. van Wyk
