Bedford supervisors seek OK for employee concealed-carry in county buildings
Two Bedford County supervisors on Monday called for the county to allow permitted employees to carry concealed handguns at work.
Newly elected supervisor Tommy Scott requested the employee handbook be altered so employees with concealed weapon permits can carry on the job.
Currently, Bedford County employees are not allowed to carry concealed weapons at work, Scott said.
“I think they should be able to carry if they so choose,” he said.
Interim County Administrator Carl Boggess said he would have to check with the county’s insurance company to see if carrying a firearm would increase premiums.
Supervisor Curry Martin voiced his support for Scott’s request.
The board agreed to take up the rule change at a future meeting.
Scott also requested the board draft a letter to Attorney General Mark Herring voicing its displeasure at his decision to stop recognizing concealed handgun permits from 25 states.
