The Rutherford Co., TN employee handbook currently prevents their employees from carrying while at work. Commissioner Michael Wrather is proposing a change to this policy. State law in TN provides any employer the authority to allow or disallow carry. We here in Rutherford County, TN believe in the 2nd Amendment Right to self defense does not stop when one goes to work. We ask that the Rutherford County, TN Commissioners make the change in policy change necessary to allow carry permit holders as employees to have the choice to exercise their Right to self defense. We will forward this petition to the full commission, county mayor, and county attorney.
The momentum is undeniable. We are taking this straight to the commission.

I do not support this petition. Nobody should carry a gun in a place of work. It never ends well

My only reservation is introducing a gun into a situation that might not ordinarily have a gun. I could support it if in the case of other adults (teachers / staff) in the care of minors might have additional training in negotiating threat situations where a firearm is involved. More than just a standard carry permit. In general I am in favor of gun rights.

I believe anyone with their carry permit and lawfully carrying should be able to carry. On duty or not.

I support County employees to carry if they have a legal carry permit
