Ok so why would this be a hard law to get passed? "Anywhere that a firearm is restricted, i.e. federal building, courthouse, etc, then lock boxes will be provided for legal carriers of firearms."
Reasoning:
It is harder to steal a weapon from a lock box in a courthouse then the glovebox of a car... ask Chief Gil.
This came up in discussion over some of the smaller PD stations, and Court houses And USCG base in seattle, demanding you leave it in the car. And then it is more likely to be stolen.
SARCASM ON: Also can you imagine Wal Mart managers... *Ah you can't have that in here while shopping...* * Sure ok, where is our lockers?* Wal Mart providing Gun Lockers...SARCASM OFF:
No but really it came up in relation to the USCG base. Had to take a CG member down for a prescription. Since I carry, I have to leave it in the car and park the car on Alaskan Way S outside of the homeless shelter.
No Lockers, No Parking, No exceptions,
If this was to work, the facility provides a locker, they record your ID for a key, Lock the gun up, retrieve it upon leaving.
That would make the streets safer, less guns stolen from cars.
Now I can understand the not wanting to give up your id for a illegal detainment, but if you are following the law i.e. restrict firearm access and you want to use the lock boxes instead of your car to store your weapon, it shouldn't be a big deal to have your basic info recorded.
