Judges in the 4th Ohio District Court of Appeals have authorized themselves to carry concealed handguns in and out of the 14 county courthouses where they conduct sessions. They say not all of the courthouses - particularly in smaller, rural counties - have metal detectors and armed guards. The district includes counties in central and southern Ohio. Their order exempts the judges from obtaining firearms training and a concealed-carry permit. State law already allows judges, prosecutors, bailiffs and law-enforcement officers carry weapons in courthouses.
