That’s what the Wisconsin DA says. The judges in Wisconsin have issued an order barring attorneys – and everyone else but LE – from walking into the court house with concealed weapons.
The DA says that violates a state law allowing concealed carry and the Second Amendment, and has asked the Wisconsin Supreme Court to reverse the order. Lawyers should be able keep their guns while trying a case.
NRA spokesman I. M. Fulschitt agreed – lawyers should not be required to surrender their Second Amendment rights at the court house door. NRA vice president M. E. Scheisskopf added that “lawyers need to protect themselves from other lawyers when arguments get heated.”
Somewhere in this debate everyone has forgot that courtrooms are usually filled with the lowest kind of scum –i.e., criminals (not the lawyers) who when they hear that life sentence pronounced can reach into their lawyer’s suit pocket and grab a Walther PPK 380.
And if the lawyers can be armed, why not the witnesses?
This is where you insane gun rights advocates are taking us. It won’t be long before Archie Bunker’s prediction comes true – the best way to prevent airplane high jacking is to arm all the passengers.
I suppose that we may expect your next brilliant and mordant comment about the situation to be on the same high-minded level along the lines of "Homo say what?" Aside from your success in conveying your fear of inanimate objects, what have you accomplished?
I don't see the need of lawyers being armed while in court, either. I think the best approach was created long ago in the Western territories when courtrooms were but temprorary occupants of saloons. Liquor was not sold during court and everybody checked their shootin' irons at the door.
Walther PPKs are girly man guns at the very least, if not downright cuckold sissy. You need a weapon that makes you get in close and personal and see the eyes go dull as the heart stopping pounding at the moment of victory. A bunch of fags in this court room.
So don't call the PPK a girly man gun. True Bond always got caught at least once by hte bad guys in every book but that was in large part because he always used his real name.
So take it back or I'm putting you under investigation.
A faggy gun. You don't see John Wayne or Chuck Norris with a PPK. Just martini drinking poofters. Annie Oakley didn't even use one and she's was probably a female.
Too bad the lawyers, or at least the judge who was murdered, weren't armed when loser Brain Nichols when on his rampage. He would have gotten the death sentence he deserved.
You can buy PPKs in the ladies department. In between the intimate apparel and children's shoes. A perfect fit in your any day of the week Louie Vuitton handbag.
The defendant knowing exactly where to get his hands on a gun, quickly! And, since I haven't read anything about court room attorneys going toe to toe in with fisticuffs, though it must happen occasionally, I doubt turning a gun on another is not a serious threat.
I do not believe lawyers should carry in court. They are too close to defendents in the court room who are not restrained and it would present too great a risk.
I disagree with requiring law enforcement officers to disarm however since they tend to not be standing right next to the caused and are generally better trained than an attorney.
