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 |
| Are we at last brought to such humiliating and debasing degradation, that we cannot be trusted with arms for our defense? Where is the difference between having our arms in possession and under our direction, and having them under the management of Congress? If our defense be the real object of having those arms, in whose hands can they be trusted with more propriety, or equal safety to us, as in our own hands? — Patrick Henry, 3 J. Elliot, Debates in the Several State Conventions 45, 2d ed. Philadelphia, 1836 |
