Holier than thou. Lawyers in suits (at the statehouse) create a special exemption for lawyers in robes (at the courthouses).
Quit worrying, hide your gun well, shut up, and CARRY that handgun!

And the shooting happened outside the courthouse, so "in court" wouldn't apply.JediSkipdogg wrote:Funk49 wrote:Judge shot in Steubanville.....I thought you weren't allowed to have a firearm in courts? Apparently this judge was carrying...concealed,even though the attorney generals site says

I don't wear a robe, but I do wear a gun. And that will continue until the ones in robes promulgate a local rule which doesn't allow them to carry, either.3FULLMAGS+1 wrote:.....and I don't think that's anything, any of us here, really wanted to know, Werz !Werz wrote:I don't wear a robe, not even at bath time.Brian D. wrote:Holier than thou.
