Debate over guns in churches bill heats up at Indiana Statehouse

There was lots of emotion and heated debate at the Indiana Statehouse on Monday as lawmakers heard discussion on a controversial bill that would allow Hoosiers to bring guns to church, even if that church is considered a school. If approved, the bill would make it legal to bring a gun to church while attending a worship service, working, volunteering or participating in a program. But the bill would also give church leaders the power to decide if they wanted to remain a “gun free zone.”
