Judges are generally immune from lawsuit.
Kingfish reports that Hinds County bailiffs carry and can use firearms
even if they fail their weapons qualifications test. Bailiffs are
deputies who work for the county sheriff and are assigned the courtroom.
State law requires all deputies qualify with their weapon and the law
sets the minimum standard they must achieve. If a deputy can not
achieve the minimum standard they are not allowed to carry a firearm on
duty.
(snip)
Hinds County Circuit Judge Tomie Green barred the Sheriff from demoting or firing any bailiff in a 2012 court order.
Even though the bailiffs failed to meet the minimum score of 75 out of
100 in their annual qualification they are still allowed by order of
the court to carry a side arm and maintain their job as bailiff.
