Hi, I carry a verity of handguns depending on the situation. A Sig p239, Glock 21, M&P 40, and a Kel Tech p32 with a belt clip. On this particular day I had a verity of appointments to make and one stop was at the Snohomish county Court house. I was wearing my Kel Tech P32 with a belt clip.I had a Sheriff come over as I have had to do before to open a lock box to allow me to store my firearm. But on this particular day I was informed by the officer, that I was not allowed to use the facilities to store my firearm, as a judge has change the rules and all firearms must be stored with a holster. The Washington code states that the courts will secure fire arms and says nothing about holsters. How is this possible?
