Jury Duty in Doylestown...

[Intrigue]

Well.. I got selected for Jury Duty in January. I'm definitely not looking to be the test case for "I have a weapon, can you put it in a storage locker.

Regardless, has anyone tried carrying to a courthouse and asking the gaurd to secure your weapon?

And.... What can I expect when being on a Jury?

Yes, I enter the county court house armed all the time---they have lock boxes and the "guard" for lack of a better word hands hand me a key whenever he sees me.

The Sheriffs office is in the court house and business there a good bit.

Darn must be nice to get jury duty---any time I get called, I call them back and they tell me that I am disqualified for jury duty---darn I would like to sit on a jury.

I was kind of mad at first (I found out what they pay you), but then I found out my company policy is to pay you your regular wage while on jury duty. I don't even have to take a PTO day.

It should be pretty nifty, I really don't know what to expect!

Glad you posted this. I too was selected for Jury Duty in January. In our county we call in the evening before to see if we are needed. Years ago I did serve as a juror on a murder trial and If needed I will serve now.

I understand the law on courthouse carry and will probably lock mine in car.

Congratulations on your Jury Duty notification.

You are the last check and balance in the system.

PLEASE, inform yourself to your rights of "Jury Nullification"

I've gotten called for Jury Duty three times this year.

Too bad I havent lived in the state of Delaware for about six years. I wonder why they keep on calling me.

Keystone, I would opt to have it locked safe in the Court House locker than trust it in your car with a chance of it getting broken into plus you will protected with your arm with you while you are going to and from your vehicle.

I got called for Jury Duty a few years back. I called them and told them I was in Okinawa. The clerk on the other side said, and what county is that in? I almost choked.

I explained it was in Japan, and he said, how long will it take you to get here? I asked to speak to his supervisor, and his supervisor said, Okinawa? Well you are excuses, you will be removed from our list, until I renew my driver's license and reregister to vote.

Why are you always disqualified?

Having seen an outline of Grizz on one of his pictures, I asume they dont make the seats big enough. Think Juggernaught from X-Men.

I am disqualified due to my employment. I work as Guard at a Level 5 or Max-Security State Prison and that's a big time disqualifier for criminal cases.
