I do believe there are some reasonable limitations on where we can carry. For instance the court room in your example I understand because it is locked down and has metal detectors and armed marshals on guard. And that I guess is where I break it down. Any place that is willing to deploy adequate armed security is a reasonable place to request that I don't carry.
That means that from your example, I am ok with the capitol building and the court house.
A post office? A school? Of course you should be able to carry in both. Otherwise they are just another 'gun free' zone ripe for the scum of society to make victims of free people.

If I may play the devil's advocate... Are you eqully incensed at the prohibition from carrying in the state capitol? The post office? The local elementary school? In the court room? Are there any reasonable limitations on where one can and can not carry?
I'm not trying to be a wiseass. I'm just wondering if you think the right to carry (openly or concealed) should be absolute.
