I met with Brad Mcclain the Chief Financial Officer of UW Credit Union a while back and got a definitive answer on the board and their decision on the Open Carry Issue. Here is his reply.
Thank you for following up on our position on “open carry” firearms in our offices. As we discussed in July, we respect and value all individual’s rights under local, state and federal laws. We also do not take a formal position on the open carry law. After a lot of thought and input, it was our decision that we will not allow the unconcealed carrying of firearms in our offices. The safety of our employees and members is of the utmost importance and we feel that the sight of a firearm could likely be perceived as a threat, creating a less than ideal security situation.
I know that you will not agree with our position, but hope that you will understand it. I do want to thank you for taking the time to discuss your thoughts with me on this issue. I can say that your position was considered as we discussed the final outcome of our decision.
Best Regards,
Brad McClain, CFO
