A judge in Harlan County (I know, strange, but true) did exactly that, demanded NO officer be armed in his courtroom. The Sheriff promptly pulled the deputies and refused to transport any prisoners to and from the courtroom. It took some major pressure from the AOC to get the idiot to back off. The decision does fall to the judge.
