Board Shoots Down Proposed Guns-At-Work Policy

JACKSON (WWJ/AP) - A proposed work rule that would have allowed Jackson County government employees to carry concealed pistols on the job has been shot down.

The Board of Commissioners on Tuesday rejected the new rule 7-4, which was approved last week by a committee. Commissioner Michael Way said department heads and elected officials indicated that they didn’t support the proposed policy.

The issue was raised during a review of the county’s policy on workplace violence. The change would have allowed licensed county employees to bring concealed pistols to work.

Supporters of the proposed change had argued that county employees should have the same rights as the general public to carry a concealed weapon.

      Hello just wanted to give you a quick heads up and let you know a few of the iegmas aren’t loading correctly. I’m not sure why but I think its a linking issue. I’ve tried it in two different internet browsers and both show the same results.

    The photo does not show a concealed weapon. This is an example of open carry. Are you trying to suggest by showing this photo that those who want to carry concealed and have permits to do so should instead open carry? Come to think of it, there would be nothing wrong with open carry.

      Thanks for the response, Bob. I can see when raiots would be helpful: I think of my nonchalance as a teenager while making Julia’s recipes from “The Art of French Cooking” with the inevitable, resultant failure, and, today, I often refer to raiots when making “European” pastries. Unfortunately, today, I think that many people think they can cook but they make mistakes, usually because they fail to think of raiots. But when raiots become taken-for-granted knowledge, as in the case with the Greek grandma next door, then raiots seem to become secondary, or even non-existent, because texture, taste, feel, aroma, etc. all become the more immediate and important aspects of the final dish.I think a lot about these aspects of food and cooking because I’m not a trained professional chef, but I work as one (in addition to the anthropology), and I love to cook at home. I think I do well, like many other “self”-trained cooks. And that idea of “well” or confidence in myself, is often reinforced when my husband and I eat at high end restaurants, with the frequent result of not being impressed. Sometimes the food is pretty, but tasteless. Sometimes the taste is good, but not exceptional. And sometimes, it’s just not acceptable, given the price. And I think that in the end, it is often the result of one of two factors: the raiots were off, or the chef never tasted the food.I do think you’re right about using mass as a criteria, especially when I consider bread-making and the freshness of flour, the humidity, etc.And, I expect I’ll buy Ruhlman’s book because I like his voice.BTW, I’m waiting for your book on charcuterie….
