Judges have wide latitude to control their courtrooms. They can throw out cameras. They can throw out people.

Frankly I want a courthouse with incredible security. Any court with criminal proceedings, or far worse family proceedings, is a potential warzone with emotion driving.[/quote

A judge can ban people for wearing something they don't like, so you don't think they can ban pocket knifes? Go ahead and take that to the Supreme Court.

Judges ,DA' s and such can get CHL and don't have to follow the rules we do. It makes me sick to see elected officials getting such privileges.

1. I see nothing offensive about having non-statutory rules in public buildings. You really want them to have to pass a law each and every time a local building sees a need to be addressed? If they don't want knives, fine. If they don't want you rolling in with a large pizza, fine. If they don't want you playing music from a boombox, fine.

2. I am pretty much on board with the any gun anywhere camp, but not in courts. BAD IDEA. You want some witness to a crime to be testifying knowing that the perps buddies are all sitting there armed? You want a judge to give out an impartial ruling knowing that it will incite powerful emotions in people that are armed? You want families of perps and victims to be sitted across the aisle armed? You want families of victims to be sitting there ready to take charge when the jury doesn't see things as they do. Courtrooms can be rendered relatively safe; I think disarming all is a good trade off here.

Well, the judges, DAs, and LEOs on duty can protect us all then. Their right to defend themselves is much more important than ours.

We will never be able to control others. This is what makes gun free zones killing fields.


I understand your stances, I just don't agree.

Yeah, we wouldn't want all those unstable CHLs from carrying in a courthouse would we?

If its family court, no I wouldn't.

OK, you do not have to if you decide not to, Your option.

Emotions can run high pretty much anyplace and anytime. Emotions can run high in the checkout line of Wally World. If someone is not stable enough to carry, it makes no difference where they are at the time.

CHLs should be allowed to carry wherever LEOs can carry.
