I oppose these regulations that create state sanctioned killing zones
 

I am opposed to the proposed regulation banning guns in State buildings. If someone is determined to commit a criminal offense, they will do it in spite of another regulation. But, they can do it with less fear of immediate retribution since there will be only a limited number of guards, and in many buildings, none, to stop their action. Almost every mass killing in this nation has occurred in an area where guns were prohibited. This regulation only creates more killing zones for the criminals. I would much prefer to allow citizens who have been properly vetted through the concealed carry permitting process to be allowed to have their arms if an emergency occurs.
