Interesting article, although I'm not sure why Joe Woods would tell the deputy when he's carrying.
I know AA county allows LEO's into the courthouse. Every time I have carried the Deputies asked me if I were attending court or just doing some other ancillary stuff. I haven't asked why, but I assume if a cop isn't brining a case to trial and is a defendant, they don't want a possibly angry person with a gun inside the courtroom. I'm good with that.

I'm kinda suprised that most of the counties in the article don't have a specific law regarding firearms in gov't buildings. In practice I imagine that most of these places won't let you go on in with a gun unless you're LEO, first responder, or like Mr Woods informing and getting the go a head to do so.
As far as informing the deputies ahead of time, makes for good sense. Better to have an answer before he arrives and find the one deputy who'd go psycho over it.

Preemption.
As I recall the courts down there got fussy about that a few years ago. I don't know if they ever codified it, but that's exactly why.They don't want people who are parties to a case not related to official duties, like domestics, carrying in court.

Since Mr Woods is a dealer and a CCW, he's doing his job in knowing these little details. I wouldn't be surprised if the deputies didn't know off the top of their heads before he starting notifying them ahead of time that he would be exercising his CCW rights.
Wouldn't surprise me also if some places do prohibit guns out of a mistaken belief where the law says otherwise. There's tons of these lil regulations that don't get enforced or used so most LEOs aren't going to know at a moment's notice.

Thank you MD-Goodbye
Everybody knows Councilman Woods and all the deputies know him too. He's a long time councilman who's supports public safety (he's also volunteer FF IIRC) and he makes his position known to support public safety. In all honesty I don't think any of the deputies really give a crap if he's gotta gun or not.

I like how in PA state government buildings must provide lockers. If someone else were to guarantee my safety then I could abide by a rule like that.
I'm sure the reason for telling them also involves the fact that if heaven forbid the shit ever did hit the fan in a meeting it would be good for the deputies to already know he was armed.
And Woods has always been a very good friend to the 2A, as FPS said.

Also, Baltimore City hall has sworn officers to check visitors. They tore my bag apart and asked me twice if I had a weapon. Perhaps it was because of the MDS patch on my bag?
