Capitol idea
Copy of a letter I received from state Rep. Joshua Evans:
I encourage you to take the next step in standing up for our Second Amendment rights by opening the legislative complex to carry permit holders. As you know, Legislative Plaza and the War memorial Building are currently posted to prohibit law-abiding carry permit holders from carrying firearms into the buildings when coming
to visit their own elected representatives or to attend legislative sessions. Therefore, any law-abiding permit holder visiting the legislature must leave their gun in the parking lot. We must not be hypocritical in telling our permit holders we trust their judgment all across the state, but not in our workplace. I feel confident lifting this
ban would not affect the safety of visitors or ourselves while at the legislature.
