"PS. Try not to take this post too seriously."

I do feel as you do, and do think it's a fairly serious matter.

You are forced to park in some lot or garage that you are normally not familiar with.

You are forced to leave your handgun in your vehicle, unless you choose to drive from your home to downtown (fill in city) without one.

You walk through that downtown, with no otherwise legally carried handgun, worse, not a knife or anything that can be construed as a weapon by the security at the courthouse. Once going to, and once going from, the courthouse to your vehicle.

I like participating in the process, but resent deeply that they do force you for that entire period, to be a true "sheeple".

I did keep a couple of ballpoint pens at hand.

The tourists I passed on the way to and from the courthouse were better armed than I.
