More judges are carrying weapons than most people realize, even though attacks on judges remain rare, surveys and experts say. In 2014, four judges in Ohio's 4th District appeals court in southern Ohio issued an order allowing them to carry guns. Wyoming allows judges to carry weapons and decide if anyone else can bring a weapon into their courtroom, but limits the power of judges to ban guns in courthouses. Lucci estimates about one in 10 Ohioans have permits to carry concealed weapons, and believes judges carry at a higher rate. He said all people who carry guns, including judges, should have the proper training.
