I had jury duty the other day in Denver, and I got to thinking. Dangerous, I know.
Weapons are not allowed in the courthouse beyond the permanently mounted metal detectors yada, yada..........
If there is no weapons check (Think coat check, gun locker, safe place to leave it) one would have to leave the gun in ones vehicle.
Would that be sufficient reason to note on the jury summons to be excused from duty?
In part, the very nature of this scenario is limiting your right to carry (Car to courthouse), and even more impractical if you had to take a cab, as carry on public transportation is a no-no (No place to leave it anyway).
Just an open thought here. Don't take this as I'm going to try to get out of future jury duty. I was actually looking forward to seeing a case.
Thoughts?
