Stupid. If the judge doesn’t feel safe with firearms in the hands of law abiding citizens he should step down. He is obviously biased and cannot perform his duties in a fair and unbiased way. Besides judge, if someone came after you, do you really think they could only get to you at the courthouse? In small town rural America everyone knows who lives where, who goes to which favorite restaurants, where they shop for groceries, walk their dog, etc. Judge, if you anger and mistreat someone to that level, and they want you, they’re going to get you. Flipside of that is, if you’re fair and honest those very same people will be the first to step up and protect you if y’all come across some whack job in your court.
A lot of NON law abiding citizens in courthouses.
