"Workplace Marshals"

It sounds like a bad idea, but it’s not. When I first read about it, I thought these “marshals” were like the old Soviet Union “commissars.” Put in place to watch the workers and report any action that was anti-government. But it’s not. It’s the best idea they can come up with to combat “gun crime” in government buildings, like arming teachers in schools. It gives them a “first line of defense” against mass killers come to kill their employees. Those “marshals” are simply regular employees who are legal “carriers,” and are allowed to bring their guns to work. A potential mass shooter would not know who they are, and thus could not “eliminate them” first, as they can do with UNIFORMED school “resource officers.” They would be able to “shoot you a lot,” as the writer of the item linked below wrote. Which would make it a lot less viable to come in and shoot people because you could get shot yourself, before you could get very far in shooting people. This is an idea I have been talking about for a long time, and they’re going to do it in Florida. Seems like Florida is way ahead on common sense these days. In Virginia, their response to a mass shooting was to make sure people were disarmed, making it easier for the next mass shooter. (Bearing Arms)
