Virginia state Senate passes bill that would make it easier to bring guns into places of worship

The Virginia Senate has approved legislation that would make it easier to bring a gun to a place of worship.

The GOP-controlled Senate narrowly voted to support the legislation Thursday, passing the measure 21-19.

The bill would repeal a Virginia law that makes it a Class 4 misdemeanor to carry or conceal 'any gun, pistol, bowie knife, dagger or other dangerous weapon without sufficient reason, to a place of worship.'

The bill still has to pass the House and if it passes, it is likely to be vetoed by Democratic Governor Ralph Northam.

I think it's a great idea to be armed in church. It's a soft target and no place, not even church, is a safe place anymore. You are not going to escape the threat, so at least be prepared for it.

The Liberal Moron Gov. will veto it, he likes unarmed dead people in the streets.

Did not know it was a misdemeanor to carry to a place of worship.

Better to be a live law breaker than a dead target. Self preservation.
