Cheney Mason today revealed that he’s carrying a gun after defending Casey Anthony.

“The attorney said that because it’s one of the main arguments he’s trying to do to get Casey Anthony out of having to come for any trial at Orange County Courthouse — safety concerns,” Adam Longo of Central Florida News 13 reported this afternoon.

At a hearing today about a defamation suit against Anthony, Mason shared threats made against him.

The judge ruled that Anthony could keep her address private and attorneys for Zenaida Gonzalez will have to find a way to subpoena her to attend the civil trial. Gonzalez is suing Anthony, who is serving a year’s probation for check fraud somewhere in Florida.

Mason said Anthony wouldn’t be present for any trial. “If you’re waiting for a picture of Casey, you’re going to be waiting a long time, ’cause she’s not going to be here,” Mason said in a report on WESH-Channel 2.

“Mr. Mason’s wife has received threats saying ‘Don’t stand next to your husband because his brains will go all over you,’ ” Anthony attorney Charles Greene told WESH.

The latest Anthony developments were the top story on noon newscasts.

WFTV-Channel 9’s Jeff Deal reported about Anthony: “One of her attorneys said that ultimately it would be up to Casey Anthony if she wanted to be here. Another one of her attorneys said flat out she will not be here.”

John Dill, a Gonzalez attorney, vowed that her team will track down Anthony.

Mason, however, scoffed: “They’ve already been doing that. I don’t think they’re good enough.”

Mason added: “So they can spend all the ‘For the People’ money they want to,” a slam against Morgan & Morgan, Gonzalez’s attorneys. “If they happened to find her, it’ll be a short-lived knowledge, ’cause she’ll be gone.”

Both sides are seeking a delay of the trial, which is scheduled to start April 10.
