Bobby Jindal & Jesus Loves Guns

Thank goodness Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal had the good sense to sign HB 1272 into law. Jindal knows that the best way for conservatives to worship Jesus is to bring their guns to church.

To amend and reenact R.S. 40:1379.3(H)(2) and (N)(8) and to enact R.S. 40:1379.3(D)(3) and (U), relative to concealed handgun permits; to increase the period of time in which a concealed handgun permit is valid; to provide with respect to costs and fees; to provide with respect to the adoption of rules for certain permits and fees; to authorize the use of fixed-case marking projectiles for handgun competency training; to authorize certain religious organizations to allow concealed handguns to be carried in places of worship pursuant to a valid concealed handgun permit; to provide for exceptions; and to provide for related matters.

The bill was written by Rep. Henry Burns. Apparently, Burns thinks churches are crime ridden places that need citizens carrying guns. The last crime in a church that comes to my mind is Scott Roeder murdering abortion provider Dr. Tiller with a gun. The bill makes an exemption for religious institutions near schools. It seems even Burns doesn't want random citizens carrying guns around children.
