Quick question about carrying in county building

**dc dalton** · August 7th, 2008, 10:37 AM

I have to make a trip to the county offices today (damn taxes) in Stroudsburg. Now for anyone that knows (or doesn't) those offices are in a separate building, not in the courthouse. They don't have any security on them or metal detectors.

Is that building covered under the "courthouse" section of the law, e.g. you can't carry there?

thanks

IMHO, No, they are not.

Probably not... If they did they require storage facilities in the building per 913(e)
