I second that, and in a secure parking lot since you aren't allowed to carry. The trip to and from your car at the courthouse should be the safest you could be.

In El Paso County, jurors do park for free in the County Courthouse Parking Garage (just present your juror badge on your way out). It's not a completely secure garage, but it is patrolled regularly & I had no problems leaving my "little friend" locked up in my vehicle last time I served. Or, if you have to park in a paid, private lot, you just present the receipt to the bailiff & they'll reimburse you along with the juror's pay.
