Don't Take Firearms to Court

Unless you are the courthouse security officer, don't take any weapons to court. That basic rule is familiar to most U.S. citizens by now, but apparently it was new to "Occupier" John Scott:

Really, people. My understanding was that urban courthouses are now equipped with metal detectors, and ask people to hand over even key chains, nail files, and knitting bags before entering the courtroom. You may be sitting beside a violent criminal; you don't want to carry anything he could steal and use to mutilate you along with the government officials who are about to sentence him.

Just in case this thought had never occurred to any readers out there, now you've been warned.
