Allow Me to Introduce Myself - I ain't the Devil

[Judge Dread]

I am Judge Dread - a pseudonym , but a real judge nonetheless. Courtrooms can be dangerous places - especially domestic or divorce courts where ordinary security may or may not exist. :evil: I hope that through my postings I can help others understand the challenges faced by judges and the difficult decisions they often face about whether they should carry and if they do carry the issues they must consider.

There are alot of jokes about what judges have under their robes - if anything! The truth is that a judge may be carrying :shock: ; does that make you feel more or less secure?

I'd feel safer if I were carrying. But having a Judge carry is not a big deal to me - assuming they practice both trades as much as I practice mine.

I'm a retired California trial lawyer. I'm not sure I'd trust many of the Judges I know with a gun. They took enough pot shots at me from the bench as it was! :lol:

The US military only allows generals go carry concealed. They have the right to defend themselves. A judge is very similar to a general.

Thanks for your post and your informing us what was under your robe.
