They have the flowing black robes to lend them dignity and gravitas. They have
gavels to command attention from the wise guys in court. Now judges in New York have been given permission to carry guns while carrying out their duties.
The ruling, reported in the New York Law Journal, dispensed some advice on how to achieve the difficult balance of being fair-minded while packing a piece. "This committee believes that keeping your firearm concealed and safeguarded on your person while you are on the bench is advisable," the ruling said.
Don't be alarmed, I'm told that there will be a new set of rules to help judges deal with their new responsibilities:
- Rid your courtroom of unsightly blood stains (hydrogen peroxide with a drop of ammonia usually does the trick).
- Pick up spent casings/shells (crunching underfoot will distract from the proceedings).
- Don't confuse your gun with your penis pump .
In closing, gun control means hitting your target ... and remember guns don't kill people, judges do!
