There has been a rash of car breakins recently in the parking lot that Tarrant County jurors are instructed to use.  The lot is fairly remote, with jurors shuttled to/from by bus.  A remote lot with people guaranteed to be gone most of the day has proved almost irresistable to thieves.

One problem I can see here for people who carry concealed is that the usual action when confronted with a courthouse is to leave the gun in the car.  However, given the breakins, this seems like asking for trouble.  I think that any public building that requires you to disarm should provide guarded lockers in an area that is out of public view (don’t want to advertise too much).

At least with lockers you won’t be deprived of your rights until you enter the building…
