M1Gunr asked me to post up my experience with regard to checking a sidearm at the Clark County Courthouse. I had posted here previously, but apparently said posts were lost in a recent board crash, so I'm going to recap as best I can from memory.
There is but one location to check sidearms. The entrance is located on the ground floor entrance on the WEST side of the EAST building (there are two buildings connected east-west by a covered breezeway). Upon entering the door the room is approx 15 feet wide and the metal detectors/security desk is about 8 feet forward. Immediately to your left as you enter the door you will see a rack of 'lockers' that looks like a wall of PO boxes mounted on the west wall of the room (same wall as the door you entered). The keys are located on the south wall behind the metal detectors.
The last time I attempted to check a sidearm, the courthouse staff (actually the CC sheriff's department) criminally refused to comply with state law by demanding ID before they would check my sidearm. I attempted to inform them of their violation, only to have Deputy Sheriff Dick Butler draw his firearm in response and be kicked out of the building.
