San Bernardino County First District Supervisor Robert Lovingood made a proposal to the Board of Supervisors that allow employees to carry guns at work, per FOX News. It's been only two months since Syed Rizwan Farook and his wife, Tashfeen Malik killed 14 people at the Inland Regional Center.

"Terror has arrived at our doorsteps, and we will and we can never be the same again," the official said during a meeting with the county's Board of Supervisors.

"Make no mistake: This is not a call for vigilantism. This is a call for self-defense under the law. Gun-free zones can't provide protection from killers. And killers are the problem, not good, honest, responsible people who are armed. When every second counts, well-trained, armed citizens can save lives," Lovingood wrote on The Victorville Daily Press.

According to FOX 11, the plan that calls for San Bernardino workers to be fully armed, especially those with military backgrounds has not been formally presented. He also wants to have weapons strategically placed in certain areas and urges his fellow county residents to apply for a weapons permit.

Lovingood's encouragement for San Bernardino people to have guns legally seems to be unnecessary as gun sales have soared since the Dec. 2 shootings. Many more are applying for permission to carry guns at the Sheriff's Department with more than 1,000 new applicants in the last two months.

The Sheriff's Department added more people to help ease the process of application due to a high number of new requests. A representative from the department, Jodi Miller, commented on Lovingood's proposal saying, "The Sheriff's Department supports any decision made by the Board of Supervisors."

In Riverside County, where the Inland Regional Center is close, has also seen a huge increase in permits to carry a weapon, per The Desert Sun. Captain David Teets noted that their office received hundreds of phone calls, voicemails and emails two weeks after the attacks in San Bernardino.

"It's been overwhelming. We have two folks who work in that department, and after the terror attacks, they were absolutely inundated with people wanting concealed weapons permits," Teets added.

Even though Lovingood's proposal has garnered supporters, it also has received some unsure reactions including from San Bernardino people. Anthony McCune told FOX 11, "I can see why that would be a really good idea, but I can also see why that would bother a lot of people for people to be armed here."
