LOL. This is what it sounds like to me as well.
Guess I need to hold off object ridicule until we know the true facts.

Can't find anything specifically denoting authority, but here's a listing for a job opening...

All of you are making this into something its not which is normal for this forum. LEOs are allowed to wear their firearms in the capitol building. Senate rules do not allow firearms in the Senate chamber which includes the gallery. This rule of course can be waived but in theory prior arrangements are supposed to be made. The Sergeant at Arms was simply doing his job which is enforcing senate rules. No one attempted to disarm anyone, after a brief discussion the sheriffs were allowed back in the gallery with their weapons though some had already left the building. The SAA may have handled the situation poorly, also showed some balls for trying to do his job as he understood it. Nothing happened anyone needs to get all butt hurt about.
Really? Nothing to worry about here?
Weapons allowed in the HOR, but not in the Senate? What makes the Senate "special"?
Personally, I think that any day an ordinary citizen can't carry a weapon to any and every place they have legal right to be at from the time the leave their house until they return is plenty to get butt hurt at. A legislative body inviting the CLEO of the counties of the state for a meet and greet and then having the adult equivalent of a page ask them to disarm shows a pretty big disconnect, which is par for the course.
The Senates rule is okay with me. 99% of Americans now and since the beginning of time would agree that the tradition of not bringing weapons into the rooms where the rules are made is a good idea. I realize this forum is made up of the other 1% so bash away.
Really? We can get a 1%'r tattoo now because we are on OSA? Seriously?
So, your on the gun control side?
Ha...I knew that was coming.
Well, your the one that made the comment.
Yeah, I'm sure the Continental Army stacked arms before having a rule making session.
