Jury Duty in Doylestown...
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?

Re: Jury Duty in Doylestown...
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.

Re: Jury Duty in Doylestown...
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.==============

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.
