BATON ROUGE (AP) \u2014 Concealed handguns won’t be allowed in Roman Catholic churches, despite a new state law allowing them.
\n“We don’t think it is appropriate to have guns in churches,” Danny Loar, executive director of the Louisiana Conference of Catholic Bishops \u2014 the church’s public policy arm in Louisiana, said Monday.<\/p>\n

The law allows concealed handguns in churches, synagogues\u00a0or mosques for those with a valid permit and training. It also says those with authority over a church have the final say in their church.<\/p>\n

Bishops discussed the issue when reviewing bills, Loar said.<\/p>\n

“The bishops decided that, if the bill became law, the bishops would let their pastors know that this would not be permissible in Catholic churches,” Loar said.<\/p>\n

The previous law let only law enforcement officials carry concealed weapons into churches.<\/p>\n

Loar said he notified Louisiana’s bishops by e-mail shortly after Gov. Bobby Jindal signed state Rep. Henry Burns’ bill into law on July 6. [Source<\/a>]<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

But what if I bring this gun?<\/p>\n
