Went to be support for a friend suffering from petty tyrants at Bellingham municipal courthouse. Asked to check weapon, at time of check in I put my wallet and knife and keys in with the gun. The security guy was pro gun.
He then said I should hold onto wallet because he needed to hold onto ID.
I said I had cleared this a few years ago (before city hired private security) and I don't need ID and I keep the key according to state law.
He said all he knows is what he was told. And that he would have to clear this with the city. I had to grab all my belongings and wait outside. I fully expected the city to have changed its policy.
He came back and said I was good to go, gave me the key I put myself in and went to watch the jester show called a justice system.
I thanked him for his professionalism both at that time and when I came back down to gather my belongings at the end of court.
My feelings is the city is having a policy to ask, but if pushed will follow the law.
