Regarding your article in the St. 
  Petersburg Times, Columns: Workplace bad enough without a gun around http://www.sptimes.com/News/102801/Columns/Workplace_bad_enough_.shtml. 
 Dear Mr. Glidewell: 
I'm sorry you find work a place 
  where life is suspended as a price for its enjoyment elsewhere. You must have 
  the misfortune of working in occupation for the sake of accumulating secondary 
  gratification, money, alone, rather than working in vocation and having both.
I'm also sorry you see fit to prescribe 
  for everyone regarding not only the appropriateness but the permissibility of 
  a number of constitutional rights in a number of different places. Apparently 
  you subscribe to the Ruth Bader Ginsburg theory of jurisprudence: "Whenever 
  you want to know what the law allows, ask me."
But if the City Manager does, with 
  your approval, succeed in banning guns from City Hall, I suggest the two of 
  you cooperate in celebrating the fact by placing outside a sign saying, "Nobody 
  in this building has a gun: Guaranteed."
And I wish you both the best of 
  luck.
Sincerely yours,
  John G. Lankford
