Reason enough to ban sharps of any kind from courthouses in my opinion. Would you consider it a stupid rule if you worked in the courthouse?
I am not irritated about not being allowed the needle, just that they would allow a crochet needle and not a sewing needle. And yes, I would consider it a stupid rule to have if I worked in a courthouse. I think that workers should also be allowed to carry guns into the courthouse. as well as the everyday jurrer. Well as long as they have a permit for carrying. kinda like a conceal and carry permit. I think that if more people had guns in their homes there would be less crime. because as more than one criminal has said, the look for a house that is easy to get into. why face a dog and gun and alarm system when the one next door has none of those things.
