Changes the law regarding concealed carrying of weapons by allowing firearms in churches and other places of worship with a concealed carry permit
This bill modifies existing laws to allow individuals with a valid concealed carry permit to bring firearms into churches and other places of worship. It specifically removes the current prohibition that generally restricts carrying weapons into these religious assembly areas. The change applies to anyone holding a proper permit, while still maintaining restrictions for those without one and preserving specific protections for law enforcement and other authorized personnel.
