And you didn't get fired? :biggrinjester:
Nope. One of his biggest fears was negative publicity or anything that would make people take a look at the library operations. If he had fired me his "unexpected resignation" would have occurred years earlier and the city I work for actually has a decent greivence procedure.

Besides, I've been fired before. Don't like it but I don't live in fear of it.

There will be libraries that legally cannot exclude concealed/open carriers that will try because librarians as a group tend to be liberal leaning. I work in a library and have been to several TxSLA conventions so I speak from experience.
