Texas Governor urges licensed carry everywhere - schools, churches, malls, ...
Adding safekeepers to the streets of Texas ... Gov. Rick Perry said Monday that Texans who are legally licensed should be able to carry their concealed handguns anywhere, including churches, bars, courthouses and college campuses. I think it makes sense for Texans to be able to protect themselves from deranged individuals, whether they're in church, or whether on a college campus or wherever they are, he said. http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/front/4763469.html Professor Joseph Olson, J.D., LL.M. o- 651-523-2142 Hamline University School of Law f- 651-523-2236 St. Paul, MN 55113-1235c- 612-865-7956 [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ To post, send message to Firearmsregprof@lists.ucla.edu To subscribe, unsubscribe, change options, or get password, see http://lists.ucla.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/firearmsregprof Please note that messages sent to this large list cannot be viewed as private.

Churches
Joseph E. Olson asked: (1) I need information on how CCW-states handle the question of licensed carry in churches. (2) Also, other than in Minnesota, have there been challenges to the procedure? As usual, I need it ASAP. You are correct about Texas. A house of worship must post a statutory sign to prohibit guns inside. However, one should be very careful - many churches, synagogues, and mosques have schools inside the buildings. It could be argued that the schoolhouse gun prohibition applies. At least in that section of the building. I just carry discreetly and ensure nobody asks or thinks about such things. If you have a few minutes: www.packing.org has this: F.A.Q. Carrying concealed weapons in your own state Q: What places are off limits in XYZ State? A: Using the Drop down menu above out from State CCW Info. Select the state you wish to find info about and click on it. When you get to that state scroll down to the section, Places Off Limits. Your answers will all be there. ***GRJ*** ___ To post, send message to Firearmsregprof@lists.ucla.edu To subscribe, unsubscribe, change options, or get password, see http://lists.ucla.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/firearmsregprof Please note that messages sent to this large list cannot be viewed as private.

CCW and churches
(1) I need information on howCCW-states handle the question of licensed carry in churches. (2)Also, other thanin Minnesota, have there been challenges to the procedure? As usual, I need it ASAP. Texas has gone both ways. First they statutorily prohibited CCW in churches. There was an uproar that this infringed on the churches' freedom of religion to make their own rules. Now Texas treats churches like other private property and allows each church to choose by posting a state-mandated sign (size and wording) or not posting. Some states statutorily prohibit CCW in churches. Some states allow the church to choose whether to prohibit CCW or not. Some such states require posting signs (saying what?). Other states don't specify how notice is to be given. Some states say nothing about the issue. Some states ... (please specify what they do).
