As long as the employee has a valid concealed carry permit, they can carry their gun. A now-famous drive-by shooting rattled the Newton County Courthouse in 1949. While nothing similar has happened since it is one reason county justices aren’t taking any chances.

They repeat the same old lie about so called “Ghost Guns” being able to pass through metal detectors. The truth? They still must have metal parts and are just as detectable as any other firearm.
