Now, this is just insane....
Security guards at California nuclear power plants will finally be allowed to carry those nasty "assault rifles."
"Federal regulators said the Edison exemption became necessary after state Atty. Gen. Kamala Harris was not willing to extend a state exemption granted by a previous attorney general in 2004.
"The lack of a written exemption from the current California Attorney General prevents the licensee's security personnel from having access to firearms and devices needed to implement the licensee's protective strategy at SONGS, since firearms dealers are not willing to honor the 2004 exemption letter," the NRC stated.
A spokesman for Harris, who is considered the front-runner for an open seat in the U.S. Senate, did not immediately respond to questions about why the Attorney General's Office was unwilling to extend the 2004 exemption."
Hat tip to Sally Sixgun....

Yes, there are federal rules to override state rules. Since the California A.G. would not give an extension then federal rules had to be invoked.
Doesn't G4S provide security at nuclear facilities? I know they were involved with the Oak Ridge debacle where an elderly nun protester penetrated their security.
I am disappointed that after reading the article that I still don't know what is being permitted.
