Just curious I am going to attempt to get a court room from my local town in order to film a scene. Has anyone had any luck in this type of task. Maybe another location that you thought was unattainable but just by asking you were able to secure it. Also does anyone know about laws using fake guns for a shot.
As always thanks for you replys.

I have had luck in this type of task. Just by asking I've been
able to secure many different locations.

The laws using fake guns vary slightly from state to state and
county to county and even city to city. I know the laws where
I make my movies. I don't know that my local laws would apply
to where you are shooting.

Since you will be asking for permission to shoot in a courthouse
that would also be the best time and place to ask about the
local laws regarding the use of fake guns.

Just shot in a courtroom this summer...had to ask the permission of the judge who was appointed to that particular courtroom. Our producer was a police officer who often appeared in that courtroom, which helped a great deal.

Don't ever be afraid to ask...
