Missouri House passes bill for guns in churches, buses
By SUMMER BALLENTINE

COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) — Missouri’s Republican-led House on Monday passed a bill that would allow guns in churches and on public transportation.
House lawmakers voted 109-36 in favor of the proposal, which now goes to the GOP-led Senate for consideration.
Currently, people need permission from religious leaders to bring firearms into places of religious worship in Missouri.
The pending bill would allow people with concealed carry permits to bring guns into churches, synagogues and mosques, and onto public transportation.
Missouri doesn’t require a concealed carry permit for gun ownership, but having a permit allows gun owners to bring their weapons into some otherwise restricted areas in the state.
