The following is something that was postedon another site. Can they require you to have a CPL to check in your firearms regardless of how you carry?
SNOHO court house

So you used to go in the side door of the court house and they had a bank of lockers that you put your weapon in and dropped a quarter in the slot so you could take a key, before you went thru the metal detectors. So the other day I was there and told the main entrance was the one to use now, so I did.
NO LOCKERS!!!! and the metal detector is only 3 feet from the door on the inside. So I just stood there, not knowing if I should walk back to my truck and toss my gun under the seat or just continue to look stupid and block people behind me from entering the building. One little girl from the rental security agency sitting behind a desk asked me what the problem was.
I said " I cant go thru there with my weapon on" pointing at the big metal detector. Others in line behind me kinda froze at this.
"No problem," she said, " I will get the marshal"
So this marshal comes over, lets me walk around the metal detector and asks me to put my weapon in this little safe about 2 ft by 2 ft and writes me a receipt. Then I have to go back thru the metal detector, which beeps and the same little rental chick wands me with a hand held which beeps also and she grabs my shirt to lift it up (without asking) and says, "whats this?" pointing to my holster. I reply "My holster, did you not just see me take out my pistol and put it in the safe?"
"No I didn't, but I dont think you can have that on in here anyway"
I ignored her and went to the elevator. After I was done and back downstairs at the lobby I waved to the marshal who quickly let me get my gun back and said under his breath so nobody else could hear, "It's nice to see a ordinary person carrying a gun, I wish more people would"
So anyway bottom line is if you are open carrying (or concealed)they will lock your weapon up for you if you have a concealed permit, they have to write the number on the receipt ...no concealed permit and you must return the gun to your car regardless of how you are carrying at the time.
