    Default lockers for ccw if working in federal building?

    Hello, I may be getting a job in PA, so I might be getting out of NY soon.
    If I get hired I will be working at the federal building in harrisburg, does anyone know if they have lockers where a ccw holder can leave their weapon during the work day? Or is it just a very bad idea to even think such a thing? I would not want to take a risk of either getting arrested or getting fired.

    ETA: sorry I ment to put this in the CCW section, please forgive me.
    ETA2: Are there any local regulations in regards to CCW in Harrisburg?

    Federal buildings are off limits to CCW for civvies, and those without specific permissions.

    its a BAD idea to ccw to a fed building thats posted, or has any kind of court or such facility.

    Unlike PA court buildings, the Feds do not have any provision for civilian gun storage by law.

    best get some sort of lockbox for your vehicle, but if you park on federal ground, you may not be allowed there either.

    as for local regs, for Harrisburg and all of PA its under the same laws as the rst of the state, the State holds pre-emption here.

    Fed laws and regs differ.

    only thing i can offer here.

    Unless your job stipulates carrying a sidearm, I'd advise against carrying or even storing a gun in your car in the parking lot of any federal facility.
    Any mission, any conditions, any foe at any range.

    Ten times the action, total hardcore.

    I was pretty sure that they would not offer lockers for us lowly civilians, hopefully I will be living only a few blocks from work and not really need to even drive my POV. Thanks for the good replys.

    Exactly what I was gonna say! In the same font! It's not worth the possible consequence.

    I don't even keep it in the lockbox in my car as I park on Federal property.

    You'd be asking for a world of hurt.
