OC is very welcomed here, although they take fingerprints in the "secure area" so it's out to the car to disarm for me

Did you have to pass through metal detectors into the "secure area of the jail"?

Macomb County keeps the finger print area (which is accessed by THOUSANDS of people smartly outside the "secure area" of their jail. Seems better to limit the amount of people you have to unnecessarily screen when they aren't there to visit the jail.

Small door off to the side of the room where they took the fingerprints had a "secure area, no firearms" sign. the door was behind the front desk.

Wayne County..what a joke. So they are hoping a thug who's concealing a firearm to break out one of his buddies will see their "no firearms" sign and turn around and leave? If you are not walking through a metal detector, you are not in "the secure area of a jail". Just because an area of a Police/Sheriff department isn't immediately open to the public, doesn't automatically make it a PFZ.

I had "other business" at the Ingham County Sheriff's office back in December of 2010. When I went there and asked where to go, a Lieutenant took me through a door and down a hallway to the office I was looking for. Before we started, I informed him I had a pistol and asked if I needed to disarm first. He just asked me, "Do you have a CPL?" to which I said yes, and he said "Ok, no problem, just follow me." And off we went. He took me where I needed to go, and I finished my business there and left.

I am sometimes surprised at how often LEOs will take my word that I have a CPL. Mind you, I'm not complaining, I'm just amazed. :)
