Sen. John Vratil, a Federal and State Affairs Committee member, said he would like to see churches added to the list.

Not that any churches have ever been shot up by nutcases. /sarcasm

Most of the times I get around to reading legislative deliberations, I come to the conclusion that being elected to political office is like joining the anti-mensa society.

I thought I was the only one who had no problem with guns in a church. Glad I joined FR!

I remember an episode of Unsolved Mysteries where a man broke into a church while service was going on, ordering the congregation at gunpoint to get on its knees, and then shot and killed the minister. He then fled the scene. If someone had had a gun at the service, he wouldn't still be at large today.
