(4) A permit issued pursuant to this part 2 does not authorize a person to carry a concealed handgun into a public building at which:
(a) Security personnel and electronic weapons screening devices are permanently in place at each entrance to the building;
(b) Security personnel electronically screen each person who enters the building to determine whether the person is carrying a weapon of any kind; and (c) Security personnel require each person who is carrying a weapon of any kind to leave the weapon in possession of security personnel while the person is in the building.

Does their law define what "4c" entails???

- who (specifically)

- how (what constitutes possession???)

- secure meaning??? (locker, restricted access to a room)

- How do you relinquish and take repossesion of weapon, where and how discrete???

Once you get through those hurdles, I'm not totally offended by clearer information and procedure...

Even in the courts, I know most have secure facilities to lock them up...No muss, no fuss, or cost...

I had to go to a sentencing for a family member in Austin a few years ago, and the Federal courthouse had lockers right there in the entrance...

Unused and totally available...My Dad and I both shot the breeze with the agents running the front desk and asked...

They obviously said no...And looked at us afterwards like we were "uglier than homemade soap"...

You don't own your own business, do you?

You guys know I am a staunch CHL supporter, but the government should not interfere with a business right to control itself in this manner.

I have to agree grudgingly with this.
I would say this though, I would be more likely to patronize a business that was posted if they provided secure storage for my firearm. If we could find some way to encourage businesses that want to post to do this without spending a lot of money, I'd be in favor of that.

Arizona does this, and when I lived there it was not enforced; it was basically a joke.

Utah does too...

How about we compel the government modify the law to grant businesses and other entities that wish to continue to restrict, tax breaks if they install secure discrete rooms, lockers for this purpose...

And if they don't in a timely, reasonable and effective manner, fine them...

It's worked before...

From what I've seen, when you combine tax breaks if you comply, and fines if you don't...It pushes the right buttons...

There are some negatives to this as well...There may be some that see this as an expansion of powers, or some form of unfunded mandate etc etc...

Me???

I plan to make money on this deal...If it ever sees the light of day...

But thats just Steve's capitalistic side showing...
