Defending People

the tao of criminal-defense trial lawyering

Duck!

I wrote here about a proposed bill to allow prosecutors to carry guns to court. Well, it passed. Effective June 15, 2007, prosecutors with concealed handgun licenses can take their guns to court. (Text of the bill.) I’m sure some RTKBA advocates are cheering this move, but having the government’s flunkies better-armed than the people is the evil the Second Amendment was intended to ameliorate.

Anyway, now said flunkies, with -zero- training in retaining their handguns, can go to court armed. Do you feel safer? I know I do.

    This is going to sound like a stupid question, I’m sure… but why did the legislature even feel the need to pass a law allowing prosecutors to carry guns to court??

    Not a stupid question at all. Rather, an intelligent question about a stupid law. Check out the Brownsville Herald article for more info.
