The 4th District Court of Appeals has issued an order authorizing its judges to carry concealed weapons as a security measure.

Fourth District Judge Marie Hoover said the order — which applies to just the 4th District Court — was not prompted by any particular incident, but that threats have been made over the years. “As a court, we’ve all agreed it is necessary,” she said.

Any word on the plebes that pay for that fancy court?

Or are they still screwed and disarmed by the force of the state?

rules for thee but not for me.

[Yo-Yo]

I have less of a beef being disarmed in sterile areas like courts and airports where everyone is screened.

I have zero tolerance for “Gun Free Zones” that are screened only by a sign near the door.

[rktman]

With or without any training?

[AEMILIUS PAULUS]

The “leadership” arming themselves is a symptom of the fact that closer ever closer comes the Social War. Those in “leadership” positions have a sense that their way of “doing business” is coming to an end and that end may not be nice.

[JRandomFreeper]

They specialized in Law as a career.... Would it matter if they had training? Is there anything to train? Is there a 'there' there?

[rktman]

Those that can, do. Those that can’t, “practice” law.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Self-defense for me, none for thee.

[Vendome]

Sohhhh....they will have supra rights?

I gotz tuh getz me sumb gubmint werx...

[Pollster1]

What about citizens carrying concealed, for protection against the same dangers?

[Vendome]

Whudyuh mean? Everywhere there’s a there, there...

[Vendome]

Important to note that it’s an admission that guns save lives and they are outright saying the right of an individual to protect themselves is sacrosanct.

This is Laz worthy for his usual cogent and sarcastic insight.

It’s also humblegunner worthy for his usual aplomb to demonstrate absurdity. ..(no blog remarks!)

Have at it men. ..

[Vendome]

It’s also an admission that YOU are the best 1st responder

[JRandomFreeper]

Except in a courthouse.

Twain should have said this, he wouldn't have butchered it:

Somewhere, in every courthouse and outhouse, is an event horizon that sucks in every rational thought. And there, and only there, is there no there, there.

It's a void.

They like it like that.

I have never been able to Sarc On Demand.

It must FLOW from me, like water from the spring.

It must BREATHE from me, like wind from the mountain.

Someone stole your sari.

[Vendome]

You are so Dahl...

[Lazamataz]

Someone stole your sari.

They apologized. They said they're sari.

[Lazamataz]

You’re my little Dalai.
