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 |
| "Secrecy is the keystone of all tyranny. Not force, but secrecy ... censorship. When any government, or any church, for that matter, undertakes to say to it's subjects, 'This you may not read, this you must not see, this you are forbidden to know,' the end result is tyranny and oppression, no matter how holy the motives. Mighty little force is needed to control a man whose mind has been hoodwinked; contrariwise, no amount of force can control a free man, a man whose mind is free. No, not the rack, not fission bombs, not anything. You cannot conquer a free man; the most you can do is kill him." --Robert A. Heinlein, "Revolt in 2100" (Pg. 68-69, Baen Books paperback edition, 1999 printing) |
