Re: Can I carry at my office, the county courthouse??

My office is on courthouse property. My understanding is that one cannot carry in a building that contains a courtroom. A couple of years ago the county built a new annex building and my office was moved there. One of the large meeting rooms is used as a courtroom twice a month. Because of that I'm told that carry is not permitted anytime. The courtroom is used for family court (Child support issues) and things can get heated in the hallways and parking lot. I would not be surprised if violence resulted from from one of these hearings. There are no metal detectors in the Annex

Both the courthouse and the annex are 30.06 posted.

I once worked for a state agency that moved into a new building. They designated one room in the building as a "courtroom". They would schedule a "hearing" in that room about 2-3 times a year. One of the brass told me that the courtroom designation was for the express purpose of keeping CHLs out of the entire building all of the time.
