Went to the Calloway County Courthouse to get a new driver's license because I changed addresses. I was carrying on the way there, but was not in the mood to get into a battle with the sheriff's deputies when I walked inside so I stored my gun in the truck. As I walked inside I looked at the signs on the door. One read absolutely no weapons of any kind. When I walked in the deputy was very nice so I decided to strike a conversation with him. I asked why there was a sign on the door that said I could not bring my gun inside, being this is a courthouse but a building that holds other offices inside of it. He said that you were not allowed to bring a gun inside a courthouse and it was state law. I politely said that I thought the rule was more specific and that the krs reads that you cannot bring a gun into a courtroom and that the city did not have the right to prevent me from open carrying into the offices within the building. He had nothing more to say except that this was a courthouse and that I couldn't bring a gun inside. Was I right in this situation?
