I went to the licensing office which is in the county courthouse. At the entrance there were officers and a metal detector as well as a handwritten sign saying no knives (nothing about firearms though). Now I'm curious, since I can't find a state law prohibiting carry in a courthouse, if they would have been able to legally keep me from carrying into the courthouse. Is there any catch-all law (ie disturbing the peace, disobeying a lawful order, etc) they could have used against me? Also I know that in Kentucky 'no firearms' signs don't mean crap unless the manager/owner asks you to leave but who has that authority in the courthouse? Is it up to the officers or would it have to be a judge or someone else?
