This is not Texas, where anyone can open carry [a gun]. Unfortunately, yes, there have been a few incidents regarding public places where firearms have been discharged, but all we are doing here is letting a few people get the idea that it is OK to have a gun in a municipal building or park. Living in fear is not how I want to live my life. I agree with the Select Board member who said if someone comes into Town Hall or a park with a gun for what are not good intentions, then when police respond and it becomes a Wild West, how could they decide who is the good person or bad person?
It is hard to believe that you do not have security in the building or metal detectors as someone walks in…if you want to do that, I say yes. I am also sure there is enough waste in county government to support these items if you are so inclined.
