Gun owners who are licensed to open carry will now be allowed to bring their weapons inside the historic Ellis County Courthouse.
It's a change that was celebrated, but not everyone is happy about it.
It's a new chapter for the Ellis County Courthouse.
County Commissioner Kyle Butler voted against opening the doors, concerned about employee safety after threats in past years. He told FOX4: "Sometimes in the courtroom, it gets a little out of hand. You never know what people are thinking or what people are doing."
And you still legally can't carry in the courtroom.Grayling813 wrote: ↑Fri Jul 12, 2019 10:09 amCounty Commissioner Kyle Butler voted against opening the doors, concerned about employee safety after threats in past years.

Yes, Mr. Butler, those of us licensed to carry are a wild, unruly bunch despite the fact that we are the most law abiding citizens of Texas.
I, too, live here. I believe that it is primarily, if not exclusively, a museum now.equin wrote: ↑Mon Jul 15, 2019 7:49 am Looks like they’re talking about the old historic building:
