God and Guns; Ron DeSantis Just Secured Both Voting Blocs By Jennifer Oliver O’Connell for Red State
If Governor Ron DeSantis plans to run for the presidency in 2024, this move just secured him the Gun Vote and the Religious Right.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed a bill permitting concealed carry permit holders to bring their firearms with them to places of worship as the fight to protect the Second Amendment across the nation continues.
The governor signed House Bill 259 into law late last month, which allows licensed Floridians to carry at churches, synagogues, mosques, temples, and other religious places. DeSantis’ new law which took effect immediately received sweeping support when it passed both legislative chambers in the state just weeks ago.
The law also permits those individuals to bring their firearms to “property owned, rented, leased, borrowed, or lawfully used by a church, synagogue, or other religious institution,” according to the bill’s text. This also means those same gun owners will now be permitted to carry guns at religious institutions that share property with schools.
“Under the bill, a person who has a concealed weapon or firearm license may carry a concealed weapon or firearm on the property of a religious institution regardless of whether the property is also used as a school,” the bill’s summary states.
With Dementia Joe and his handlers rabid targeting of lawful gun owners, coupled with their rabid attack on individual liberty—most profoundly expressed through people who worship something beyond themselves—this is a smart move.
Unlike the gun control lobby’s fear of untrained individuals having the ability to openly carry a gun under Constitutional Carry laws, this bill focuses on those who already have a concealed carry permit. CCW holders are properly trained, and generally have a CCW that covers more than one state, which means they are versed in gun laws, their rights, and their responsibilities. So, the clear and smart wording in this law minimizes the outcry from the nattering nabobs of negativity.
