Haven't you seen Minority Report? I don't want someone telling me I can't OC in a court room because I MAY be emotional about a case. Why not arrest me now for a murder I MAY commit because of those emotions.
What was stated was a SCENARIO !!!! for the most part. But, can you carry in a court room-NO! THEY WON'T LET YOU!!! So it doesn't matter does it.
Walk into a court room and explain your rights to the judge and tell him you aren't going to leave until he/she lets you speak/sit in the court room as long as you want. IT won't happen, the bailiff will haul you out and if you resist (as you should if you are following the constitution/standing up for your rights) you will be in jail even for following the constitution as you are telling the judge why you should be allowed to OC in their court room. They just won't hear it and you will loose that argument.
Common since will be the benefactor, live to fight another day as it were.
Go to the White House and OC, or to Congress and OC, can you-NO! Why, THEY WON'T LET YOU!!!
Again, I am 100% for OCing/our rights, but until things can get changed (in the Scenario mentioned), we need to use common since so we (the OC community/Gun people) won't be branded as trouble makers and a deaf ear turned every time we want something changed/talk.
Beating a dead horse IMHO w/the emotion issue, just a lot of hot air of what if.
Real issue is can you OC in a court room-YES, BUT will they let you-NO, so it isn't gonna happen-What do we have behind door #3-a trip to jail, and lots of money spent. Fight the right way to get things accomplished.
