Comment on Concealed Weapon ban in Executive Branch controlled buildings.
 
I am opposed to the ban of concealed weapons by those who have a concealed weapons permit. My first concern is this would make these buildings a target for those who would want to commit a high profile terrorist crime. Also I understand that there are supposed to be guards for these buildings but I've never seen an armed guard at a DMV office. If those guards are in uniform, they would certainly be the first person targeted. Often not knowing who might be carrying a weapon can be a deterrent. For these and other reasons, I am opposed to this ban. Thank you for the opportunity to comment.
