A new law took effect January 1st that requires county sheriffs to approve gun permit applications, without restrictions, in all but very narrow circumstances. That has led to a big spike in gun permit applications. And now it looks like it has counties and cities across the state to considering bans on weapons at courthouses and other government buildings. Many of these groups already had bans in place, but they're more prominent now. Councils and boards have declared that no one, even permit holders, may bring a gun into certain government buildings. Waterloo just passed a ban last week. Des Moines is debating it.
