when I went to get my CHL in WA state I went to the sherrif's office which turned out to be in the same building as the courthouse and jail. I opened the door and the first thing I see is a guard and metal detectors so I went back to the car to leave my 2 knives there. another time I went to six flags and of course we had to walk FOREVER just to get to the gate...where the sheriff's department was checking for contraband. WTF, actual cops at an amusement park working the gate?!? had to make the long walk 2 more times...
