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.

Yes, I think he probably did also. The overall theme in most of the replies seemed to be missing what I inferred to be the central question the OP was asking. So I was just trying to re-center the discussion.

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 ...
