Missouri House OKs guns on buses, in churches

Published March 9, 2022 5:42 PM

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — Missouri’s GOP-led House has passed a bill that would allow guns in churches and on public transportation. The House voted 101-40 in favor of the measure Wednesday. The proposal now needs approval in the Republican-led Senate. Currently, people need permission to bring firearms into places of religious worship. The bill would allow people with concealed carry permits to bring guns into churches, synagogues and mosques regardless. The legislation also would allow people with concealed carry permits to bring firearms on buses and other forms of public transportation. Guns would still be banned on Amtrak trains.
