Every time I've gone to a certain colo facility in Miami I've been
armed.  They have a no firearms policy inside the facility, but the
guards at the front desk don't blink when you ask to check your Glock,
and in fact their reaction is confirmation of the wisdom (and
prevalence) of carrying a piece in that part of town.
