In a close vote Thursday evening, Missaukee County commissioners rejected a more lenient employee gun policy.
It came down to an issue of liability, according to commissioners who voted against the proposal.
“If an employee of the county did something untoward, who is going to be responsible?‘ Pamela Niebrzydowski said. Even an employee acting with good intentions might injure an innocent person.
"I feel pretty strongly about this liability thing," she said.
For other commissioners, it was more personal.
They know the employee who requested a policy revision and trust him, they said.
And some commissioners were concerned about personal liberties.
"We keep whittling away at our rights," Hubert Zuiderveen said.

| I wonder who is going to get sued if an employee is attacked and injured and unable to protect themselves because the employer prevented them from doing so (in their own vehicle?) Talk about a double edge sword. |

TO REMEMBER |
| Some writers have so confounded society with government, as to leave little or no distinction between them; whereas they are not only different, but have different origins ... Society is in every state a blessing, but Government, even in its best state, is but a necessary evil; in its worst state, an intolerable one. — THOMAS PAINE |
