DeSantis signs bill allowing concealed carry at churches that share land with schools
In a win for gun-rights supporters, Gov. Ron DeSantis on Tuesday signed a bill that will let people with concealed-weapons licenses carry firearms at churches or other religious institutions that share properties with schools.
The measure (HB 259) was one of 94 bills DeSantis signed Tuesday, according to a late-night announcement from his office.
Florida law has generally allowed people to carry concealed weapons at churches, synagogues, mosques and other religious institutions, but it bars being armed on school properties. That has led to people being prevented from carrying guns on properties shared by religious institutions and schools.
The bill signed Tuesday will change that, and was approved during the spring legislative session in a 76-37 vote in the House and a 24-16 vote in the Senate.

Another example of Republicans forcing their perverse fetish on the rest of us. How long will it be before a churchgoer leaves his gun at a school to be found during class the next day?
