The National Rifle Association has filed a lawsuit over Florida’s new gun law, which increases the age to buy rifles in the state from 18 to 21. Republican Gov. Rick Scott signed the bill yesterday. Yet, the pro-Second Amendment organization should consider joining another lawsuit in Virginia, where a social worker was reportedly fired for being a concealed carry holder. On Facebook yesterday, Storm Durham, a social services worker, described how three Roanoke police officers escorted her out of her office. She said some of the officers had accompanied her on child services visits. Durham was also not allowed to use the bathroom on her way out due to safety concerns. On Twitter, Durham said that she’s already obtained lawyers.

Attention getting perhaps? It sounded kinda odd to me when I read it and kinda figured there must be more than that. She may be a candidate for confiscation and due process later. ;-)
I think it would be a lot more fun if the NRA and others sponsored a Ballot Initiative in the State just to piss them off. maybe:
KEEP OUR PUBLIC EMPLOYEE’S SAFE ACT
All persons granted a privilege, to keep and bear arms, without being infringed, shall be prohibited from All Public Property at All Times. There shall be No Exceptions.
Any person found to have violated this law, shall be guilty of a Felony, punishable by a Mandatory 5 years in Prison.
Having a permit is a 1A issue. Carrying on the job is a different issue. Looks like a lawsuit.
“granted a priviliege”? ;-)
I worked for social services in TN right out of high school and accompanied social workers on home visits. I can’t even describe some of the homes and neighborhoods we went to. Not only were we not safe making home visits, one nut-case even came to the office one morning and started hurling objects from my desk at the other employees in the office. We all tackled her and she went to jail. After two years in the place I moved on to a better safer job.

Read the article.
It is the crazy ones making the news right now; and she had a violent boyfriend. Not the poster child for CCW.
I did NOT double post or stutter.
my argument forces the issue and the outcome would be entertaining, is the 2nd Amendment to the Constitution a Privilege or a Right.
If it is a Privilege to keep and bear arms without being infringed, then we the people have the RIGHT to Regulate their presence, and prescribe the rules of securing said PRIVILEGE.
I was a case worker for MediCal in California. The only house calls we made were if the client was ill and couldn’t come in. I hated them. Most were in horrible neighborhoods and I’m a shiny white blonde gal so stuck out like a sore thumb. Since we were giving them money no one ever bothered me and most of the times I’d get waved at as I drove through in my county car. Social workers spend most of their time in those neighborhoods and they’re not popular. Ugh!
Who made this decision? Who complained?
The country is in the grips of collective hysteria. Every so often, some event happens, the media/left gets all excited, and goes into obsessive coverage mode, and all the hysterics jump on the bandwagon and throw away any powers of reasoning they may have had.
It was the confederate flag. Then it was “men raping women”. Now anything that recalls the thought of “gun” or “NRA.”
This fad will be abandoned in a few weeks, only to be replaced by another hysterical mania fanned by an America-hating media.
Google murdered social workers
Don’t need to. Someone else answered my question.
:-) I don’t know how that happens.
LOL! I’ve had unintentional double taps before.
“Don’t need to. Someone else answered my question.”
Good. Nice to have to depend on others ...
