SB535 would allow churchgoers and attendees to carry rifles into churches, for protection in case of attacks or other dire situations.
The Texas State Senate passed SB535 on May 1, 2019 by a vote of 25 to 6. We have assigned pluses to the ayes because this bill would bring us closer to compliance with the U.S. Constitution. The Second Amendment states that “A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.” This principle holds true in places of worship as well.
