Stopped by the courthouse today to vote early. It used to be, and I believe it still is PA law that f you are carrying, they have to provide you with a lockbox for your firearm. Well, before the metal detectors, I saw no lock boxes. I will note here that I was unarmed. I was more curious than anything. At the X-Ray and metal detectors were two rent-a-cops. I was wearing sweatpants, a tee shirt and tennis shoes. I had my wallet and keys. I placed them in the tray, put them through the X-Ray and walked through the metal detector without any alarm. Picking up my items, I asked one of the rent-a-cops if lock boxes were available and where they were at if I was carrying. The other rent-a-cop comes over and asks the dumbest question of the month. "Why? You're not carrying, are you?" Something just annoyed the heck out of me. Sometimes stupid people just strike a nerve with me. I just looked at him and said, "Really? I just went through the X-Ray and metal detector...... Really????" I just looked at him and shook my head while walking away. Yea, I was kind of rude, but come on now. People need to start using 5% of their brain. Turns out that after all that, the election's office moved out of the courthouse. As I was leaving, I guess this idiot wanted to get the last word, so he yelled over, "To answer your question, people try to bring all kinds of stuff in here. Someone tried to bring in brass knuckles not too long ago." I wasn't about to get in an argument with a moron, so I just waved and left. I resisted the urge to say, "Yea, and you caught it with the X-Ray and detector right, you idiot?" I bit my lip so hard that it's going to leave a mark. Sometimes I just can't take stupid anymore.


I BELIEVE IN MY GOD, MY COUNTRY AND IN MYSELF.

I would have busted your chops too because you fall into the three top things to never trust.

1. Women named Amy but spell it with an i

2. People who walk without moving their arms

3. Men over 40 who wear sweat pants

Ya just can't trust'em... grin


I wonder if tap dancers walk into a room, look at the floor, and think, I'd tap that. I wonder about things.....

I went a few years ago to renew my permit. Ask the Sheriff deputy where can I put my gun. He old me to turn around nd put it in my truck before I got arrested for carrying.

I had an electrical engineer that reported to me that walked without moving his arms. He seemed to take special care to be different. Decent engineer, but a very odd person. No one I knew liked him.

I never voted anywhere that I had to go through a metal detector or x-ray

Also I noticed you used the words tennis shoes, I call them sneakers because I never played tennis lol

I've had days where stupid people bother me, especially when it involves their job. Makes you wonder sometimes who does the hiring and who doesn't do the firing

Never been to a courthouse that allowed civilians to carry a weapon. Can’t imagine they let you in with one as long as you promise to lock it up. We lock ours up in our trucks before we go inside, just sorta makes since to me.

A guy is just doing his job and you screw with him--while dressed like a slob. Then you rant about it and go on to disparage what you deem to be his lowly status.

Class act.

I have an acquaintance who checks metal detectors and security for an alphabet agency , you don't really want to know how bad some of them are.

It's his job to get stuff through then he shows his ID when he does get caught , so they don't know who he is and should check him just like any other person.

when you can try as many times as you like you can get creative

so that rent a cop may have seen some one walk right through that then asks for a lock box and produce a titanum air weight with 5 rounds in it


America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

My 10 year old walked through the detectors at the state fair with his knife and belt buckle and never set it off. Neither did I with my 380,knife and multi tool.

Though the one my wife walked through stoped her for the flashlight in her purse
