A new bill that allows judges to carry guns into the courtroom was approved by the Oklahoma Senate.
On Monday, state members passed the bill by a vote of 39 to nine.
The bill authored by Senator Brian Crain does not require law enforcement training, however does require a weapons permit.
Several state senators believe the bill will add more security to the courtroom. A few Oklahoma senators are concerned the bill will lead to others being able to carry guns in the courtroom.
The measure will move to the House to be considered.
