Actually as a regular civilian you never go into where all the inmates live, all you do is see them behind a glass wall.
You have admitted to favor restricting the carrying of firearms to at least one place, "Jail". This decision was made by the "State" for safety reasons. This then admits the "States" authority to restrict the carrying of firearms for safety reasons to be determined by them. The fix to the determination where they cannot be carried is to revise the law not repeal it.
Is there anywhere you would bar the carrying of firearms???

snubbie - Nope. You misunderstand my intentions and reasoning. I don't want carry in jails except for employees because the other people in the jail are still being punished for their crimes. Once they are released, and here is where my opinion is unpopular, they get their carry rights back unless they were in for a violent offence.
Secure locations with controlled access. Places where every single person entering save for sworn law enforcement must enter via a manned metal detector.
I agree. I'll even take it further...if they are released back into society they get all of their rights back, including the RKBA. Let's think about this...how in the hell does it make sense to say that a person is too dangerous to have a gun because they might go commit a crime with it BUT they are safe to be free in society. They can buy power tools, chainsaws, knives, swords, cars, baseball bats, they can walk through your neighborhood, they can walk up to your children's daycare or school, they can do just about anything...
...if a person has proven themselves untrustworthy to the point that we think they will go rob a convenience store and/or murder somebody if they had a gun they should still be in prison. It's that simple. De-criminalize marijuana (regulate similar to alcohol), get rid of a bunch of other stupid/silly laws, get those people out of jail/prison and use that freed up space to keep the true criminals...violent offenders and the like...behind bars where they belong.
You are starting to catch on. The key is access. Whether this access is restricted, controlled or prohibited is a question that only the "State" can determine. Yes the State & Feds are the controllers of policies and rules for public safety. They control almost every aspect of our lives. I am not saying this is right or the way it should be only the way it is.

Why would you want to carry in a school?? I can see having police available in schools, which some schools already have, but not to allow the public to carry in schools.
