Solidifying Bans on Guns in Executive State Agencies
 

I strongly oppose this legislation. I have a civil and human right to defend myself (it is not a "gun right"). I am a law abiding, tax paying citizen of the Commonwealth. I have been vetted by this Commonwealth and proven to be trustworthy and of sound mind (via a background check). We have existing laws that were enacted to keep dangerous people from acquiring guns. The fact that you have an armed security detail is evidence of your lack of confidence in these laws. I'm not confident in them either, as we both know, bad guys get guns...there is no fail safe way to stop them. So shouldn't we both be able to defend ourselves?
