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 |
| Those, who have the command of the arms in a country are masters of the state, and have it in their power to make what revolutions they please. [Thus,] there is no end to observations on the difference between the measures likely to be pursued by a minister backed by a standing army, and those of a court awed by the fear of an armed people. — Aristotle, as quoted by John Trenchard and Water Moyle, An Argument Shewing, That a Standing Army Is Inconsistent with a Free Government, and Absolutely Destructive to the Constitution of the English Monarchy [London, 1697]. |
