[su_publirb]
Mississippians will now be able to protect their Bibles with guns.
Mississippi Gov. Phil Bryant on Friday signed into law a bill that will allow members of some churches in the state to undergo training to carry guns inside houses of worship for protection, in response to last year’s massacre at a South Carolina church.
The Mississippi state House of Representatives voted April 5 by a count of 85-35 to send the bill to Bryant’s desk for final approval or veto.
