Today, Hernando County, Florida, commissioners will consider restoring county workers’ ability to exercise their Second Amendment rights while on the job. A current county policy prevents them from carrying firearms while on the job without fear of disciplinary action.

County Commission chairman Steve Champion has indicated that county workers shouldn’t have to chose between their right to self defense and the potential loss of their job.

“They should have a right to defend,” said Hernando County Commission Chairman Steve Champion.
Champion also owns American Gun and Pawn.

“Hernando County is a pro second amendment county and I’m pro second amendment,” he said.

The county’s current policy prohibits county workers from carrying a weapon while on the job.

“I asked several weeks ago to add this to the agenda to change the policy and allow any concealed weapons holder to carry when appropriate,” said Champion.

At the end of February, Lake County Florida voted to restore the right to bear arms to Lake County employees who had carry permits.
