The Newton County Quorum Court, by unanimous vote, has allowed county employees to carry their concealed firearms while on the job.
The Quorum Court felt it is important that each county employee be able to defend themselves or others when the need arises.
As long as the employee has a valid concealed carry permit, they can carry their gun.
The measure was approved last week, according to Newton County/Circuit Court Clerk Donnie Davis.
