Today, while out and about with our 7 day old daughter, I noticed a sign on the local health department doors that read "no concealed weapons" with the red line through the picture.
While people where speaking with my wife and looking at our new blessing, I decided to walk over to the health dept. I walked in OC'ing and took a seat while waiting to speak with someone. Not a word was said to me.
After about 10 minutes I was called to the window with my gun in plain sight. I asked the lady if the building/agency was a county building/agency. She said "sort of, most of our raises come from county but some come from the state."
I asked to speak with a supervisor and was told he was busy but that they would have him call me. I thanked them and left. 15 minutes later he called and I asked if he was aware of 65.870. Not to my surprise he had never heard of it.
Generally, when I do this type of work I like to do so in person with paperwork in hand, but I had to do this one on the fly. I recommended that he inquire with the county attorney for further advice just like a couple of other county agencies have done. (They all were advised to remove the signage and so far they all have complied)
All of this was around 9 this morning. I went back by the building around 6 this afternoon and the signs remained. I'm not to concerned just yet because in my experience it usually takes 3 or 4 days before they see the light and comply with the law.
