Re: Courthouse
I wrote a letter to the sheriff and spoke to him today on the phone, he told me he is going to watch the videos and speak to the security guards/deputies about this. He agreed it is none of their business as to why I am carrying a firearm and that they should not be disarming anyone or clearing weapons in the foyer of the courthouse. Hopefully this resolves the issues

Re: Courthouse
The last time I went to the York one which was in September, I’m not sure if the officer near the entrance was new or just wasn’t expecting a non-LEO to need to check a firearm but I came in and instead of proceeding to dump my pockets into the screening bin I tried to inform him that I needed to check a firearm and he repeatedly kept stating loudly “sir empty your belongings into the bin” until about the 3rd time I said that I needed to check a firearm first, then he gave me a blank stare for a second before telling me to come to the lockbox area with a kind of “really?” tone to his voice. Prior to that every time I’d been to the York courthouse they were pretty friendly about it.

Re: Courthouse
In Chester County with the new building you walk in and the lockers are to the right. You put your firearm in, take the key then go through the metal detectors. That's how it's been since they opened the new Justice Center.

Re: Courthouse
I have not spoken with DelCo on the issue but, if memory serves, the law requires them to have lockers "at" the courthouse, not necessarily "in" the courthouse, and the building is within the courthouse 'complex'.
So, I guess it depends on what your definition of "is" is...

Re: Courthouse
No definition of "is" is required. It's plain letter law, to wit:
§ 913. Possession of firearm or other dangerous weapon in court facility.The phrase "at or within the building containing a court facility" is about as plain and as clear as it gets. "In a nearby building," "across the street" or "just around the corner down the block" doesn't cut it.
(e) Facilities for checking firearms or other dangerous weapons.--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).
I think it would take an attorney and a lawsuit against the county commissioners to fix.Last edited by Statkowski; February 4th, 2020 at 05:09 PM.

Re: Courthouse
I have jury duty coming up next week, anything worth knowing about in Dauphin Co courthouse? My jury summons says DO NOT bring your firearm. That doesn't sit well with me.

Re: Courthouse
Ah, but just think it the lovely opportunity to point out during jury selection that you don’t think you could trust a single word that came out of the Judges, or DA’s mouth considering their demonstrates track record of withholding relevant from the jury pool, in regards to Fundamental civil rights exercised by members
Of the jury pool, and how deeply disappointing this attempt at official oppression under color of law is, especially considering your concerns over jury pool tampering.

Re: Courthouse
I was scheduled for next week as well but had to reschedule. I called the sheriff's office and they told me there was a locker downstairs at that entrance as well. I don't recall seeing one there a few years ago but if not I was planning on checking it upstairs. Can you post your experience next week?
