A prohibition of this sort should be accomplished through the General Assembly, and not by executive fiat. This prohibition is a solution looking for a problem. Has there ever been a shooting in one of these areas? Should I be disarmed when I patronize a state liquor store? (By the way, why does the state have a monopoly on the sale of liquor?) If one looks at the history of mass shootings in this country, all but two have taken place in locations where guns were prohibited. Should we be creating more of those "victim-rich" zones. I think not.
