(2) Forms, applications, publications and the majority of other Department documents should be obtained from the main county offices. Selected documents may be obtained only from the State office; these documents are identified in other Department rules.

(3) Office hours of the State Office and most counties are 8:00 a.m. to 4:3O p.m. Monday through Friday, excluding holidays. Selected counties are open to the public from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. only. Whereas the State Office and most counties operate on central time, a small number of the State's eastern boundary counties operate on eastern time. It is in the best interest of the public to make contact with the county(ies) of concern to determine exact closing time(s) and time zone(s) involved.

(4) Firearms and other dangerous weapons are prohibited in all county and state offices. All articles brought into any county or state office shall be subject to search. The carrying of dangerous weapons and/or the refusal to permit articles to be searched shall be rounds for denial of access to state and/or county offices. As used herein, the term "dangerous weapon" means a weapon, device, instrument, material, or substance, animate or inanimate, that is used for, or is readily capable of causing, death or serious bodily injury.
