I just love getting the run-around from public servants.
I need to go to the courthouse tomorrow so I called them up to find out where they had the storage units for people to check their firearms while they are in the courthouse.
First called the Firearms division and was told they don't have any storage capability. So, she transferred me to the Lieutenant of the Traffic division (not sure why there, but oh well) who then proceeded to tell me that the only storage they provide is for police officers because 18 Pa. C.S. §913(a) says it is illegal for anyone else to bring firearms into the courthouse. When I explained that 18 Pa. C.S. §913(e) was there to allow us "normal" people to check firearms so that we could then abide by section (a) she told me that those two sections were a Catch-22 - that the storage facility was there because I wasn't allowed to have a firearm in the courthouse, but that I couldn't use the storage facility because to do so would require me to bring the firearm into the courthouse in order to get to the facility!
Oh well - in contact with State Senator Orie to see if they can find out what us "normal" people are supposed to do. I think a few registered letters to the Sheriff's office, the County Executive, my reps, and the Attorney General may be required.
