In some states (AZ), if no guns are allowed in state bldgs., they have to offer free storage for you. In VA you can carry in state bldgs. It's usually a crime to go through a metal detector with a gun, so their asking you can save you some real headaches. Many a celebrity have been nailed at the airport when they forgot they were carrying, being so used to flying private and not being used to security screens. I always give myself a patdown before I walk through a metal detector. I came pretty close to getting onto the Vienna Metro to go downtown with a pistol in my vest before I noticed it felt heavier than usual.
