Letter: Gun fears unfounded
Joe, its been said many times on these forums that security systems are not necessary because of this change in laws. The security systems are only necessary if you don't want to take the sign down. The reason is because the building owners will now be responsible for any injuries to people within the building if there ever are any. Take the sign down and the liability changes. No security or metal detectors are required when the sign is removed. Nobody is going to poach deer in the lobby.

Letter: Gun fears unfounded
Joe, you are assuming things that are not going to happen. CC holders are not going to rush the courthouse or city hall carrying their concealed guns. It isn't going to happen, with or without the signs. Just relax and let the law go into effect. These people that you are now afraid of are your friends, neighbors, doctors, lawyers and business associates. Some CC holders are even former policemen and sheriff's deputies.
Are you really afraid they are now going to hurt you because a sign has been removed?

Letter: Gun fears unfounded
You won't see a CC holder trying to stop a drug deal. CC holders are not policemen and they normally don't get involved unless they are threatened and need to respond for their own protection or their loved ones protection. So far there has been very few of those kinds of incidents in Lawrence.

Do you think people who are homeless should get a discount on bus fare?
Next time interview Lawrence residents only. People from out of town could care less if Lawrence homeless get free bus rides. They are not going to be helping to pay the bus fees. Their opinions don't count. First three out of town people, YES give them passes.

Editorial: More guns
That's what I said in an earlier post. The 25 cent signs protected the buildings. Now answer this, why does the county commissioners think they have to replace a 25 cent sign with a $800,000 dollar metal detector and an armed guard at every entrance?
Nothing has changed and nobody is now planning on carrying their gun into the courthouse except maybe a Lawyer or Prosecutor and we know they can't be trusted, don't we? (sic)

Editorial: More guns
OK, Let me get this straight. In the last 10 years nobody has pulled out a gun in the Douglas County Judicial Center and started shooting. Not a permit holder, not a non-permit holder and not even a Law Enforcement Officer. However, now that the "no guns" signs are being removed, some of you think there is going to be a shoot out inside the building and some gun toting person is going to shoot another person and a CC permit holder will try to shoot that guy, miss, hit a couple innocent bystanders and all hell is going to break loose unless the county spends one million dollars on metal detectors to prevent this fantasy from happening. If it hasn't happened in 10 years, it isn't going to happen now. Nothing is going to change. Quit worrying about permit holders carrying in public buildings because most of them never will and if a "bad guy" wanted to shoot someone inside the courthouse they would find a way to get around the metal detector and guard anyway. As a matter of fact nobody has been shot in the Douglas County Court house in the 50 years that I have been a resident.

Thanks for the lesson in reading comprehension, sometimes I read between the lines. It's a bad habit of mine.

Clarification, moderationman was not replying to my post. He is replying to a post that he had removed from playing. That's why it has nothing to do with my post.
