I had to title my vehicle which meant a visit to both the Sheriff's office and the Clerk's office. CC is legally prohibited at both locations.
After a few minutes interacting with one of the clerks at the sheriff's office, THE sheriff himself (not a deputy) comes out to address me.
Sheriff: Are you with the service?
Me: No
S: You can't carry in here.
Me: I'm sorry, but I can't conceal carry in here. I'm open carrying.
S: This is a county building, you're not allowed to carry in here.
Me: Your sign, as well as the law, only specifies CC, not OC.
S: It's against the law to carry in here, you'll have to put that back in your vehicle.
Me: Are you asking me to do it now, or in the future.
S: Future.
So I got his name and I've already written a letter. I'm going to drop it in the mail tonight. I hope this can be resolved amicable. If not, I'll take addition steps--not to mention actively campaigning against him this fall.
Next, I went to the courthouse to visit the Clerk's office. I was standing in line as a man approached me.
Man: I couldn't help but notice you're carrying. Can I ask why?
Me: For personal protection--I can't CC in here so I'm OCing.
Man: I'm a magistrate here, you're not allowed to do that.
Me: I'm sorry, but I know my rights and I've researched the laws; CC is banned, OC is legal.
The man simply shrugged and went his own way. I thought for sure he was going to call the police, but he didn't. I really wish I had gotten his name so I know who to vote for this fall--or rather, who NOT to vote for.
I was walking back to my truck when a guy on the street:
Man: Who do you work for?
Me: I'm a teacher.
Man: Are the kids that bad?
Me: Haha no, I DO NOT carry at school. However, I do carry for personal protection.
Man: Oh cool, didn't know you could carry like that.
Me: Yeah, it's definitely legal. Do you carry?
Man: No, I'm an ex-con. I wouldn't trust myself with one anyways.
Haha I think we can all be glad he doesn't carry! Anyways, I'm very anxious to see how my correspondence with the Sheriff is going to work out. I'll keep you all posted.
