QuoteMississippi Gov. Phil Bryant (R) signed a gun rights bill on Friday allowing churches to create security programs designating members to carry firearms to defend worshipers against violence.

A holstered gun sat on top of a Bible on the governor's desk when he signed the legislation, which he said would help protect worshipers from attackers.

The Church Protection Act allows places of worship to designate members to undergo firearms training so they can provide armed security for their congregations. It specifies that those designated can carry guns into church buildings and gives them legal protections.

The law also loosens gun permit requirements by allowing people to carry holstered weapons without a permit, making Mississippi the ninth state with such a law, said National Rifle Association (NRA) spokeswoman Amy Hunter.

The Mississippi Association of Chiefs of Police says that part of the bill dismantles the state's licensing system and makes it harder to check whether someone with a gun is a violent criminal. Other opponents say it endangers people by putting more guns in untrained hands.

Bryant also signed into law a ban on a commonly used second-trimester abortion procedure, setting the state up for a possible legal challenge. The law outlaws "dilation and evacuation" unless it is necessary to prevent a woman's irreversible physical impairment. Groups that oppose restrictions on abortion say the law could force physicians to use another method of abortion that could be riskier, longer and more painful to the woman.

Jesus for guns!

This is making me think of the church fight scene from The Kingsman.  Just what America needs.

Because the only thing that can stop a bad guy with a gun, is Jesus with a gun.

This is completely inaccurate. We all know Jesus is a Glock man and has no use for Berettas. "Let he who is without sin dump the first mag bro..." - J.C.

Jesus with an Austrian gun, that can't be right. Jesus is an all American guy and a proud Smith & Wesson owner.

He's all about forgiveness...and is obviously a Bee Gees fan...
