Incidentally, AR is controlled by Republicans for the first time in a century.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark (Reuters) - The Arkansas House of Representatives approved a bill on Monday to allow concealed-carry permit holders to take their weapons into churches, and it is expected to be signed into law by the state's governor.

The Church Protection Act would allow individual places of worship to decide whether to allow concealed handguns and who could carry them. The Republican-controlled House passed the bill 85-8 with bipartisan support. The measure previously passed the Republican-controlled Senate 28-4.

Arkansas joins a handful of other states, including South Carolina, Wyoming and Louisiana, that allow guns in churches, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures.

Gun control and gun rights issues have dominated the public conversation since a gunman shot dead 20 children and six adults at an elementary school December 14 in Newtown, Connecticut.

Arkansas Governor Mike Beebe, a Democrat, was expected to sign the bill into law.

Praise the Lord and pass the ammo.

Amen.

You have any land for sale that will give us interlocking and mutual supporting fire by you? I need to establish residence there......

I can just see our flags flying over the house (Camp) and all the GS running around doing the daily dozen. Your camp can be a radio relay for the sector.....;)

There's a defensible bench just to the west of my shack. :cool:

Many of the blogosphere's earlier efforts at <click on the link to send your rep a nastygram> are starting to generate the typical canned replies. One came in this AM from a local Dem in Congress who has, thus far, managed to hold onto his power & grow it a little - by pandering to the rhetoric of the moment at the nearest big city. He's also the Minority Whip and on the Health and Ways & Means Cmte's. The return fire went like this:

Charitable mood today; civility included the possum last night that wisely chose not to push the issue. I think ZD put some weird juju on his avatar....

PRM is a bastion of liberalism turning the corner into progressivism.

See this is what is proposed by Gov Martin O'Malley

More and more every day is see control of social, economic and political life being exercised by those who are executives in government. Please tell me I'm wrong.

Re-reading some of the bills actually up in various states; just wanted to thank you for the continuing synopses.

Of all, I like the wording in South Carolina's S.247 alot for the exact reason you mentioned.

It seems everyone else is trying to get rid of guns, Texas is trying to put them IN THE SCHOOLS.

Representative James White filed HB 1142, which provides locals schools boards the discretion to add an elective course offering that would give their high school students the opportunity to gain an appreciation of the Second Amendment of the United States Constitution.

And Texas has a few more keyed up:

HB 700 seeks to allow Texans the option of open carry.

HB 48: would provide CHLs the opportunity to renew their license in a continuous process on line.

HB 223: would allow members of a school district’s school board and the superintendent with a concealed carry license to carry into school board meetings.

HB 553: would take steps to protect Texan’s second amendment rights from egregious actions by the federal government.

HB 627: exempting the intrastate manufacture of a firearm, a firearm accessory, or ammunition from federal regulation.

HB 698: requires that digital or electronic fingerprinting be offered within 25 miles of applicants.

HB 972: CHL on campus
