County To Allow Employees To Carry Concealed Weapons

Saline County Commissioners approve a policy allowing county employees to carry concealed weapons.

Under the policy unanimously approved Tuesday, employees who have a conceal carry permit will be allowed to carry concealed guns while on the job. The guns must kept on their person, and cannot be stored on county property or in county vehicles. They cannot be left in purses, bags, briefcases, coats, or other items.

Employees wishing to carry concealed guns must sign a waiver.

Commissioners noted that if state legislators pass legislation dealing with conceal carry that the local policy may have to be revised.
