Sorry to be ignorant but why cant the SA's just get a concealed carry permit like anyone else and they can give up their weapon to the deputy while in court ?

IIRC, the discussion was around they could not carry with CCL into the couthouse, yet in many rural areas, there is little to no security and they find people waiting for them in the hallways and their office...not every one wanting to thank them for their work
