J. Marquez finds that the disciplinary counsel properly declined to apply Colorado's five-year statute of limitations to reciprocal disciplinary proceedings brought against attorney John F. Kennedy.

Affirmed.

J. Womack finds the circuit court improperly denied the remaining plaintiffs-attorneys' petition for declaratory judgment. The attorneys, as officers of the court, seek to carry guns in court. As officers of the court, according to the clear language of amendment 80 of the Arkansas Constitution, the attorneys are allowed to carry guns in courthouses. The Arkansas Supreme Court distinguished courtrooms from courthouses because the General Assembly distinguished them in the section being interpreted, not considering courthouses and courtrooms the same. Courtroom-specific claims may proceed. Reversed in part.

The special master's recommendation that the attorney receive a three-year suspension is not appropriate. The attorney's criminal forgery charges remain pending and his pre-trial diversion agreement does not expire until at least August 2025.
