More Judges Packing Pistols in Courtrooms
Thursday December 7, 2:52 am ET
Amanda Bronstad, The National Law Journal
Despite increased security at courthouses following shootings in Chicago and Atlanta about one year ago, many judges are bringing their own guns into their courtrooms for protection.
Earlier this month, a Florida judge was ordered to accept mentoring after warning a defense attorney that he was "locked and loaded." In May, a judicial ethics committee of the New York State Unified Court System found that it was ethical for a judge to carry a pistol into his courtroom.
In Nevada, Oklahoma and Texas, incidences of violence in the past year have prompted new laws or solidified rules allowing judges to bring guns into courtrooms.
"Judges in our courthouse have been carrying guns almost all the time," said Cynthia Stevens Kent, a Texas judge in the 114th District Court, where a man in a family law case killed his ex-wife and son last year on the steps of a Tyler courthouse.
"We feel strongly about providing adequate security, but it comes down to personal responsibility. And you've got to take responsibility for your own safety," Kent said.
Security concerns were raised last year after a rape suspect grabbed a deputy's gun and killed an Atlanta judge and others. One month earlier, a litigant had killed the husband and mother of a Chicago federal judge who ruled against him.
COVERING THE DOORWAY
Some states allow judges to arm themselves.
In June, a man shot the Nevada judge overseeing his divorce case through the window of his courtroom. Chuck Weller, a judge in the Nevada 2nd Judicial District Court in Reno, who survived the incident, said that judges in Nevada are allowed to carry weapons into the courtroom if they obtain permission from the chief judge.
He declined to say whether he keeps a gun in his courtroom, but noted, "I'm not opposed to it at all. The culture in the community I live accepts firearms."
The shooting prompted U.S. Senator Harry Reid, D-Nev., to introduce legislation to enhance security at both state and federal courthouses.
In another recent incident, Oklahoma District Judge P. Thomas Thornbrugh said he grabbed his gun from his chambers after he heard a loud slam against the wall and shouts for help. He said he knew deputies were taking a prisoner to a nearby bathroom.
"I thought the deputies were being overcome by this prisoner, and their service weapons would be taken," said Thornbrugh, recalling the Atlanta incident. "There were no other deputies around, so I got a pistol out of my desk and covered the doorway until the other deputies arrived."
The scuffle prompted the Oklahoma House of Representatives to pass a bill in March that would allow district judges to have guns in the courthouse. Current law is unclear.
The bill died before reaching the state Senate, but state Rep. Dan Sullivan, R-Tulsa, who introduced the bill, said he plans to try again next year.
In Texas, which permits state judges to carry concealed handguns into courtrooms, a new law became effective that expands that right to include federal judges and district attorneys. The law followed the Tyler shooting.
"We believe each judge should be able to make sure he has a system of self-defense," said Kent, who wears a shoulder harness and carries a gun at all times. "One of our biggest areas of target is when we're in the court making decisions."
FIGHTING GUN BANS
In May, New York's Advisory Committee on Judicial Ethics issued an opinion that found it ethical for a judge to carry a pistol while on the bench.
In Florida, where Bay County Judge Michael Hauversburk recently threatened a defense attorney with his handgun, state law permits concealed weapons. But a bill that died last year would have specifically allowed judges to bring concealed firearms into courtrooms. Similar bills were introduced and failed last year in North Carolina and Illinois.
On Jan. 1, Kansas plans to permit judges and whomever they designate to carry concealed firearms in the courtroom. Phillip Journey, the state senator who authored the bill and a practicing attorney, said he spent a decade seeking to overturn a blanket prohibition on firearms in the courthouse.
"If I had a judge's permission, I'd do it every day," he said of bringing a gun into the courtroom. "Guns are like lawyers: Better to have one and not need it than need one and not have it."
The callous elitists continue ever upward on their jew-appointed pedestals. They are so far removed from us that they know nothing of how we feel.
They will most assuredly need those guns.......and bullet proof vests.......and helmets......and bunkers.......

The scum in black robes want to retain the means to defend themselves while depriving you of yours. Brutus is right, they will need a whole lot more than guns when the torch bearing mobs come seeking justice.

That's exactly right. Look at your post office and local government, they'll always have stickers about how you can't carry firearms, if you're a concealed carry state. All the liberals/gov twats are two-faced. Guns for them, death for you.
They have reason to be scared. The majority are corrupt and will, in almost every instance where there is a conflicting state interest versus an individual's natural right, rule in favor of the state interest. This of course is counter to the principles of American Jurisprudence. I hope that I am alive to see those who sold out their countrymen get the justice they deserve.

One thing I noticed in the article is that they mention the Leftcow killings in Chicago. At least they didn't go off on a tangent with the usual "white supremisisss" bullshit and mention Matt Hale.
But yes, in my days of dealing with these black robed holier than thou jackasses is one thing. They Do think they are better than you. They aren't about upholding the law fairly. They are about serving the kike and the kike's ways. And they are damn scared they will receive retribution for their actions, which in my opinion, they do deserve.
On the other hand, most of the niggers in their courtrooms are violent animals who will do anything to get revenge on them. Serves them right for being a bunch of chickenshits.
Don't forget all the jews that were allowed to walk around with automatic weapons at David Irving's trial while an Englishman can hardly even own a handgun anymore.

Most states exempt private property from carry laws and whether or not one is in a carry state is irrelevant on your own property. Having said that one must ask whether his or her own body is public (government) or private property. Absent a third-party claim (lien) on your body it would seem to me that carrying a firearm on your own body (private property) is exempt regardless of the state you inhabit.
Of course the courts will rarely if ever recognize the above facts and law and you'd have to be tenacious if you were ever charged with 'carrying without a license.' A license being the state's permission to protect yourself. The very thought of which sounds absolutely preposterous to me since I believe that God gave me the RIGHT to protect myself with or without anyone else's approval.

Excellent post, Stan.
The more judges carry guns in courts, the harder it'll be to confiscate guns from ordinary citizens, and the more reluctant citizens will be to turn them in.
Mexican gangs (MS-13 for example) are really getting bolder day by day against law enforcement officials and judges. When a gang leader orders a member to make a hit, the gang member knows if he refuses, he'll be hit himself. And maybe his family, as well. And this includes gang leaders doing time in prison.
And what's worse, cops and judges know it.
As I said, things are shaping up nicely for us.

Alex, I am certain that I am not alone in my lifestyle. When in the States, any state, I always carry concealed. I could give a rat's ass less about the law concerning the carrying of arms. I normally carry anything from a Smith .22 Escort to a Smith Model 40. Always in my right front pocket, right jacket pocket or stuck in my right hip pocket. It all depends on what I am wearing and where I think I am going to be.
I am very law abiding (LOL, except for the above) and am very careful about the situations I place myself in when in public. In all of my life, I have never been stopped by a cop other than a couple of those routine traffic sweeps when the lic, ins and reg are checked. Perhaps that is what has emboldened me, but to date, with John Law, I have slid by squeaky clean.
I have only pulled the .38 on one occasion in over 25 years. The two niggers who saw it backed off and looked for someone else to help them get their car started--around the corner from a well lit Sears parking lot.
If you want to carry concealed, carry, but be prepared to pay the piper if caught. For someone with a clean record, that is a small price to pay if any price would ever have to be paid. My sense of personal security is well worth the risk. Nobody knows I carry except for my wife. My three kids know nothing, and I have very good reasons for that.
Gold is the currency of kings; silver is the currency of gentlemen; barter is the currency of peasants, and debt is the currency of slaves.
