Sorry, but there is nothing the state can do that will affect the federal government employees/contractors. There is this little clause in the Constitution that makes the feds supreme over the state and prohibits this.

Of course there's another little clause in the Constitution which says the Federal government can't prohibit you from bearing arms anymore than the state government can. But I digress ... :patriot:
