Carried in Knox Co Courthouse

[MattCary]

There are still courtrooms in the old courthouse, unless they've changed that in the last couple of years.

Some of the civil cases still go on over there. (or did.)

Court rooms while court is in session are off limits... per state law... the buildings which contain court rooms, must be posted like all other buildings to prohibit legal carry.

BlackHawk93. I know what you mean. I went for jury duty about 5 years ago and had a 2" blade pocket knife. I had to take it back to my car and stand in line another 20 minutes.

Yeah, they are super strict and real a#*^@*es there. I have family who work inside the courthouse and am told that they all dislike that duty (the deputies) and have been assigned there because they are not even "patrol" fit. So they take it out on everyone who walks through there. They shout like a bunch of prison guards and are really hateful. They get irritated when you have to go through the machine multiple times but it's their own fault. I forgot my wallet one day and something in there set it off. Hell when I flew from BNA at Christmas I had forgot my belt and the machine didn't go off, so I know it's a matter of it being set real sensitive.

They have always been nice to me. Seemed real understanding that things happen. Held my knife for me last fall. Seemed attitudes went down hill the further in the door you got though.
