Jackson County, Michigan, is in the midst of a debate over whether or not to allow employees and contractors to carry pistols on county property, according to an article from M Live.
The revised policy on workplace violence was unanimously approved by the County Police Committee on Monday, March 12, and will go before the full Board of Commissioners for action next week. According to the article, the debate started in early 2012, when some commissioners argued that it was not fair to ban licensed employees from bearing arms, because that ban does not apply to the general public on most county properties.
