quote:SALEM, Ore. (AP) - Oregon officials have banned state employees from carrying weapons in the workplace unless they're needed for their jobs. This has caused some Republican lawmakers much consternation.
The Oregon Department of Administrative Services said that it imposed the ban, effective Jan. 6, in hopes of "providing a safe and secure environment for employees and visitors."
Banned are firearms, daggers, slingshots, and even knobkerries, which are clubs used by indigenous people in southern Africa.
House Republican leader Mike McLane said Thursday the order was tantamount to limiting employees' right to self-defense, and said he would ask Gov. Kate Brown where the authority for the new rules comes from.

Side note. There are places I would not want to live. Recently Oregon has made that list.
I visited there just once and found that area to be one of the most beautiful places I have ever been too!
Every state has it's big cities where the large numbers of gumby's seem to screw things up for everyone else!

NO, not the knobkerries too!!
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
