By lopsided margins of 85-8 in the state house and 28-4 in the state
senate, the Arkansas legislature has passed a law allowing churches to
permit the presence of concealed weapons. “In the previous law, people with a concealed-carry license could not carry in church,” the bill’s sponsor explained. “Now, this just allows each church to make their own individual decision.”
The Catholic Diocese of Little Rock joined the local bishop of the Episcopal Church in opposing the measure, according to press accounts.
