New Attorney General Opinion 22-01 explores how buildings where judicial proceedings may occur may or may not be gun free zones
AG Opinion 22-01

The report on this opinion is on the TFA's News feed due to its length.  Rep. Terri Lynn Weaver submitted 7 questions to the Attorney General for analysis.  The analysis that was received demonstrates that buildings in which "judicial proceedings" are or might occur are a huge risk for citizens that can result in felony charges.  Indeed, a citizen might enter the building on one day carrying her handgun and be perfectly legal but then go back the next day and be arrested on felony charges for entering the same building with the only variable being whether some judge somewhere in the building is engaged in "judicial proceedings" which might include nothing more than a conference call in the judge's chambers involving attorneys. 

This dangerous situation arose in 2017 from a statutory change that substituted the word "building" for "room" which change the Republicans voted for notwithstanding the real dangers and criminal traps that they were creating. See, Section 5 of Public Chapter 467 (2017) House Bill 508 by Rep. Lamberth and Sen. Stevens.
