I was driving on Ring Road, the bypass round Elizabethtown, a week or two ago and, all of a sudden, I saw something out of the corner of my eye. I was passing a big building on my right and it must have been 60 or 70 yards off the road and I was driving 60 mph. I wasn't sure what I saw, but when I got to the next intersection, I stopped and turned around and went back. I pulled into the parking lot of the building and it was the District Office for Hardin County Water District #2. I looked at the front door and saw this:

I couldn't believe it. When I got home I sent an open records request by email for any policies about guns. They refused to fill it, claiming that the statute requires USPS or fax(the statute was written before email was common). They were right, but they are the first ones to do this. What's the point? I just printed out the email, stuck it in an envelop and mailed it. Here is what I got in response(what we are interested in is on page #3 and page #7):https://drive.google.com/file/d/1KM15Gb7rO2oz1C_Trp0W1lDTOuKiiJBX/view?usp=sharing
I sent a email to the General Manager and since he was such an A$$ about the ORR, I was not as polite as I usually am. I am waiting on a response from their attorney. This should be fun. A water District is not a department of the county government. They are a "Special District" and they have a public commission that governs them. There is no "legislative body" of a water district and they are not empowered to pass laws, so they can not pass an ordinance to prohibit CC and can't ban OC. They can't do anything about guns, but I doubt that they know any of this. They are about to get an education. I intend to wait about a week then call the Manager to hear him cry. He will be outraged. What fun this will be!
The next day, I thought,"Well, what about Water District #1? I just copied my original email and replaced the #2 with a #1 and emailed it. Within 3 hours, I got a response telling me that they had no such policy and didn't expect to ever have one.
