N. Georgia judge investigated for brandishing gun in court
A North Georgia judge is being investigated for pulling out a handgun during a hearing this week as a woman testified about being an assault victim.
Lumpkin County Superior Court Judge David E. Barrett pulled out his pistol Wednesday not in anger, but out of frustration and to make "a poor rhetorical point," District Attorney Jeff Langley said Saturday. Langley, who was in the courtroom when it happened, said the Judicial Qualifications Commission has launched an investigation of the judge.
"It was totally inappropriate conduct for a courtroom," Langley said. The district attorney said that he approached the bench after Barrett pulled out his gun and told the judge to put his pistol away. The judge did so and the hearing continued, Langley said.

As far as I can tell, some states allow it.
Edit: Of course, Georgia is one of them as per the article

More like a holster I'd think.
