Dept. of bad planning
The Texas Senate passed a law authorizing D.A.s and judges to carry loaded, concealed weapons inside courthouses. The reason generally given was a courthouse shooting in February that had to do with -- no surprise -- a child support case. In that incident, a man opened fire with an AK-47 outside a county courthouse.
Can we just think this through for a second? Some cranked-up idiot starts shooting inside a courtroom -- let's say he grabs a deputy's gun. The next thing that happens is that the D.A. and the judge whip out .38s and start firing?
That can't possibly be a good idea.

You're an idiot if you think that this is going to lead to shootouts in the courtroom. Judges and DA's are generally smart people and are only going to use such lethal force with thought of the implications. Enough DA's already have concealed weapons permits. This just allows them to take them into their place of work to protect people like you from the nutballs out there.
