Outlawing guns means only the outlaws will have guns
 

This proposed regulation will have the opposite of the intended affect by playing into the hands of terrorists, violent criminals, and the criminally insane.  We have had no shootings in state agencies and this prohibition on those with a concealed handgun permit is entirely without any justification and needlessly and recklessly endangers innocent lives.  Disarming good citizens (who are the only ones likely to obey the prohibition) does not make them safer.
