Gun Policy Really Necessary?

On the agenda for the October 5, 2013 AMC meeting is the following motion:


G.14 Firearms policy at official AML events

Moved BAKERINK, seconded DURHAM: All operable firearms shall be prohibited from American Mensa Ltd official events.

EXPLANATION: This prohibition will be put into place due to the diversity of State laws, State Weapons Permit reciprocity, hotel policies, and liability insurance concerns. American Mensa has had no standardized policy for allowing firearms at gatherings. This makes it difficult for event Chairs and White Hats to keep up. American Mensa has no specific liability coverage for allowing operable firearms at an event. We wish to maintain necessary coverage for our events and this will not be possible if coverage for operable firearms is included.

FINANCIAL IMPACT: There will be no financial impact.

What are your thoughts about this? Pro or con, let our RVC, Cam Smart, know where you stand on this. Or, for those AML members from elsewhere in the country, let your RVC know your position on this. (Heck, you can send it to other members of the AMC if you want, too.)

    Completely unnecessary, misguided, over-reaching, and smells like either some overzealous Risk Management lawyer getting their panties in a wad over media-hyped ultra-longshots (so to speak), or an anti-gunner pushing a personal political agenda. I have let Cam know where I stand. I've heard back, but will let her speak for herself if she wants.

    As for the rest of you contacting any AMC folk about this, please remember, be polite and preferably concise! Rants may feel good at the moment, but tend to be counterproductive.
