Last time I was at Bucks courthouse, they didn't give a receipt, didn't give the key, and did require a whole form to be filled out including serial number. I wish I had a gun with no visible serial number to carry in there just to 'f' with their heads!

I think it would be fun to 80% a 1911 just for that reason...

I just lock mine up in the vehicle before entering, just so I don't have to deal with the hassle. The same with my knife and my multi-tool.

You used the word "officer" a number of times..... this was NOT a police officer that you were dealing with at the Beaver County Court House. Was it a Sheriffs Deputy or a security guard?

Reading the block o text is a hassle as well.

It could be argued that the officer was correct. The relevant part of the statute reads:

"Each county shall make available at or within the building containing a court facility by July 1, 2002, lockers or similar facilities at no charge or cost for the temporary checking of firearms by persons carrying firearms under section 6106(b) or 6109 or for the checking of other dangerous weapons that are not otherwise prohibited by law. Any individual checking a firearm, dangerous weapon or an item deemed to be a dangerous weapon at a court facility must be issued a receipt. Notice of the location of the facility shall be posted as required under subsection (d)."

Open carry on foot is not a manner of carrying/exception to licensure specified under section 6106(b) or 6109.

How long till "Beaver" County is deemed offensive?

They changed "Beaver" College.
