Montgomery county courthouse lock-box?
Next week I'm heading down the the courthouse to visit the Retirement Dept, it's located in the same building as the Sheriff Dept.
Does that same building (sheriff/retirement) have the lockboxes for me to secure my firearm? Or do I need to go to the main building to have the firearm secured?

I'm fairly certain the sheriff is in the main courthouse. I used the gun locker about 18 months ago when I had jury duty, and found the sheriff's deputies on duty that day to be stand-up chaps. No dogs were shot by the police, and I was not forced to walk around NorrisHole unarmed.
As a side note there is an excellent sushi restaurant in NorrisHole. Who knew?

I suppose sushi's okay if it's cooked properly.

When my wife and I went to the courthouse for our marriage license, we went to the building across the street. that building also had a lock box, where I stored my firearm. The deputies there were professional. The deputy (older guy) on the floor that we were on was VERY pro-2nd amendment. a good experience for me.

I made a mistake, the retirement office is the building across the street (One Montgomery Plaza).
American1776, I do believe that is the building I'm talking about, thank you.

The Montgomery County deputies aren't bad - I only got attitude from them on a few different occasions, and considering I was there for over a week on jury duty, checking my weapon in and out twice a day, that's not bad at all.

Let's be honest, the sheriff's here in PA aren't really police, more like security guards and armed escorts.

Is One Montgomery Plaza considered "courthouse", thus requiring the checking in of firearms?

If by "excellent" you mean relative to the area where there are no other sushi restaurants in the immediate vicinity, then yes, it is "excellent". Or you could just take a 10 minute trip down 202 and go to Kabuki for much better sushi.

Update: went the the County Controllor office where the retirement papers get filled out, located across the street of the courthouse (Swede St.), One Montgomery Plaza.
I CC. Walked into building, no metal detectors. Just a guy sitting behind the information desk. I didn't ask the guy behind desk about lock box's, I figured if no metal detectors, then no issue. Went right to the 5th floor and filled out paperwork, and left building.
