Judge in IL charged after dropping handgun inside courthouse

1) Being a cog in the legal system shouldn't get anyone special privilege.
2) While he will have to deal with the system over his carrying against a prohibition, I doubt he gets the same treatment by his compatriots that the average Joe would have.
3) he already, wrongfully, received special treatment by the enforcers who enforced their perceptions rather than the law (not that I agree with the law).

None of this paints the legal system in a positive light.
 
Misdemeamor? Worth the charge if caught in Southside Chicago. Man is over retirement age anyway.
 
Typical for me, but not for thee BS. Nothing will happen to this guy.

Anyone from the Chicago area remember Alderman Dorothy Tillman waving a revolver around? They get to carry.
Not to belabor an issue, but this is another example of where people need to stop believing in the superstition that govt agents can be bestowed with super Santa Claus powers If you accept that people can't give to others things they don't have then things like politicians (and judges) carrying while trying to deny others falls apart. Think about it. Certain individuals are falsely claiming to have special rights and are willing to use force to deny that of others. The people need to be equally willing to use force against those who would deny them and claim special rights. It's called legitinate self defense. As @SPM said, things like burning effigies and nooses were effective warnings to politicians like this. Those that didn't heed the warning got dealt with. Of course now, the politicians try to declare that warning them of misdeed is grounds for use of force against you. Folks, you're not going to solve this nonsense by voting.
 
Look at it this way, the good judge didn't lose his pistol attempting to do a black flip:D.
Hey old bear, if you meant to say BACK flip, I'm with you!
No, he's referring to a streamline legal procedure that puts certain criminal violators back on the street as quickly as possible.
;)
