In 1974, a distraught teenager who’d been previously ejected from Wanaque Judge Joseph Crescente’s courtroom fired a gun from the street into the building, killing the 71-year-old judge and shocking the 50 people in the courtroom. State Sen. Gerry Cardinale (R-Cresskill) said he wants to make sure that never happens again. He said given today’s “emotionally charged” legal and political scenes, it’s time to arm judges and other public officials.

Please explain to the class how, given the way this shooting took place, this judge would not have been killed had he been carrying.

TO REMEMBER |
| For, in principle, there is no difference between a law prohibiting the wearing of concealed arms, and a law forbidding the wearing such as are exposed; and if the former be unconstitutional, the latter must be so likewise. But it should not be forgotten, that it is not only a part of the right that is secured by the constitution; it is the right entire and complete, as it existed at the adoption of the constitution; and if any portion of that right be impaired, immaterial how small the part may be, and immaterial the order of time at which it be done, it is equally forbidden by the constitution. [Bliss vs. Commonwealth, 12 Ky. (2 Litt.) 90, at 92, and 93, 13 Am. Dec. 251 (1822) |
