The recent ban on open carry in the Senate chambers presents an opportunity. Did it seem a little strange that the WSP does not seem applauding this rule change? Imagine the following scenario.
1) Conceal your handguns inside of a backpack. Alternately, openly carry a handgun.
2) Enter the gallery and follow the procedure for turning over the backpack to the WSP (I don't know how the procedure works as I have not attempted to carry a backpack into the gallery).
3) Inform the WSP that there is a handgun(s) inside the backpack and insist that they give you a written receipt for the handgun(s) to document the transfer.
4) On the way back out attempt to retrieve the backpack and handgun(s).
5) Document the experience and inform the SAF as to exactly how the WSP handles the situation. (Do they skip the process of performing a background check?)
In fact, I'm going to write a letter to the Lieutenant Governor and the WSP asking them to provide a copy of their procedural document for managing transfers while people enter and exit the chambers.

Lt. Gov. Brad Owen announced Friday that the public will no longer be able to openly carry firearms in the state Senate chamber's public viewing area.
