Seems reasonable. They do it for the cops.
That was my point. Why should I leave my LEGAL, licensed-to-carry firearm in the parking lot to be stolen? The county saw it my way and installed a gun locker similar to those used in jails. You walk in, inform them you’re carrying, safe the weapon, hand it over and they lock it in your own drawer and hand you a key.
When you leave, you give them they key, they give you your piece, and you rearm yourself at the door. Three years now without a single incident.
