Jackson, Miss., on April 1, 2016.
Members can undergo firearms training to
provide armed security for their congregations
(JACKSON, Miss.)— Gov. Phil Bryant has
signed into law a bill that allows some
members of churches to undergo firearms
training so they can provide armed security
for their congregations.
The Church Protection Act specifies that those
designated can carry guns into church
buildings. It also allows people to carry
holstered weapons without a permit.
Republican State Representative Andy Gipson
of Braxton says the law gives small
congregations an option to defend themselves
against attack. He proposed the bill as a
response to the slayings last year of nine
people at a church in Charleston, South
Carolina.
The Mississippi Association of Police Chiefs
has opposed the portion of the bill that
loosens permit requirements. The group says
it dismantles Mississippi’s licensing system
and makes it harder to check someone who
has a gun isn’t a violent criminal. |
