Lee County Supervisors are looking at making county-owned buildings safer for employees and the public, which may include banning guns from county-owned buildings – even for those who have conceal-carry permits.
The Courtroom Security Committee has been working on a proposed ordinance, which was reviewed recently by supervisors. The main concern was weapons in the buildings, specifically the courthouses. Firearms already are prohibited in courtrooms.
According to Lee County Sheriff Stacy Weber, there already are laws in effect banning guns in certain locations, even when someone possesses a conceal carry permit. |

In other words, "I don't care if it's unconstitutional, I want it done ANYWAY."
Clue: If you do that you have to put magnetometer and x-ray screening in at all those locations. |

TO REMEMBER |
| By calling attention to a well-regulated militia for the security of the Nation, and the right of each citizen to keep and bear arms, our Founding Fathers recognized the essentially civilian nature of our economy. Although it is extremely unlikely that the fears of governmental tyranny, which gave rise to the second amendment, will ever be a major danger to our Nation, the amendment still remains an important declaration of our basic military-civilian relationships, in which every citizen must be ready to participate in the defense of the country. For that reason I believe the second amendment will always be important. --JOHN F. KENNEDY |
