County tag office carry....

[DJCantonGA]

In Cherokee, it is my understanding that carrying in the tag office is a no go since they have an off duty officer present. I started using the drive thru because of it. I haven't been inside except for once in the last several years, and the officer was sitting on his butt playing on his phone.

Post office is a big no go.

Whats an off duty PO got to do with it?

If I remember correctly, you can carry in government buildings that don't have metal detectors, or security screenings.

Not many government buildings left like that

I always carry in the tag offices in North Fulton. Never had a problem. No screening, and if signs are present, I ignore. (I've never seen any signs)

Didn't read all the replies. Cannot carry into the tag office in Harris county; because the office is located inside the Courthouse.

Carrying a firearm in a city/county/state govt building is prohibited if they have a security present and at least one of them is a cpo.

From the link I posted:

A license holder shall be authorized to carry a weapon in a government building when the government building is open for business and where ingress into such building is not restricted or screened by security personnel. A license holder who enters or attempts to enter a government building carrying a weapon where ingress is restricted or screened by security personnel shall be guilty of a misdemeanor if at least one member of such security personnel is certified as a peace officer pursuant to Chapter 8 of Title 35; provided, however, that a license holder who immediately exits such building or immediately leaves such location upon notification of his or her failure to clear security due to the carrying of a weapon shall not be guilty of violating this subsection or paragraph (1) of subsection (b) of this Code section. A person who is not a license holder and who attempts to enter a government building carrying a weapon shall be guilty of a misdemeanor..

CPO being present not an issue unless ingress is restricted or screening is being done. I've carried in many govt buildings with a CPO was present, but no screening or ingress restriction.

No you can't

There is a reason they need bullet proof glass in there even though they hold no cash or anything of value

Unless there is a metal detector or security station, you are legal, no matter what a cop may tell you.

Internet truth but still truth lol

Good to know
