@KyJim those places are crawling with armed LEO's. The federal courthouse in Rockford, even though at the time I visited court was not in session, no judges present etc still had about 10 armed LEO's around.

That said, how many prosecutors, judges, witnesses etc have been gunned down right outside a courthouse? Didn't a prosecutor in Texas or Arizona just get gunned down a couple of months ago on his way out of court?

I support Prisons and Courthouses as GFZ's but there should be a mechanism like a coat check but for guns where you can carry up to a point, have your gun "checked in" to a secure guarded storage area then get it back before leaving the building.

I do NOT support any type of schools as GFZ's; even the ones with armed guards or LEO's on site do not have very good coverage unless you are talking about the School where the Presidents children go.
My HS In Florida had 2 or 3 SRO's on a given a day, for a school that was about 300 yards x 200 yards, with 2500 students.
