Let’s leave those guns at home…

Bill Clinton’s presidential library opens Thursday in Little Rock and Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, George H. W. Bush and Jimmy Carter are scheduled to speak.

The 420 employees at the Acxiom Corporation, occupants of a nearby Little Rock office building, have been sent a memo reminding them that company policy does not allow weapons on company property.

You see, deer season opened last weekend. Some hunters in Arkansas take deer season so seriously that many of them carry their guns and other hunting equipment in their cars, so they can get a little shooting in before or after work.

The memo noted:

With hunting season opening, associates should be especially mindful not to have firearms, ammunition or other weapons in their vehicles.

I guess that might give the Secret Service pause…
