Does the Thomas S. Foley Courthouse in downtown Spokane got lock boxes?
I assume they got metal detectors and all that jazz at the entrance.

My wife got nailed for jury duty, and doesn't want to leave her gun, knife and kubaton behind.

What NAVYLCDR said. Don't confuse federal courts with state courts (the latter DO have a requirement to provide pistol storage, by state law -- RCW 9.41.300.1(b) -- but this does not (and CANNOT) apply to federal court facilities.

No, they do not have any provisions for non-Leo to store weapons. You go in through a metal detector. She needs to leave all of that stuff at home, or very secure in the car.

Now, if she has a handicap placard, there is a 30 minute parking spot right across the street from the front entrance, she can legally park there all day without paying, if she has a placard.
