LITTLE ROCK — The Arkansas Senate approved Senate Bill 71 on Monday, which would allow concealed guns in participating churches.
The bill, called the Church Protection Act of 2013, passed the Senate by a 28-4 vote. The bill will now go to the Arkansas House of Representatives for a vote.
If the bill passes through the House, Gov. Mike Beebe would have to sign the bill into law for it to take effect.
