The North Carolina Senate has just passed a new bill that repeals laws banning the concealed carry of gun in churches and schools on church grounds. The bill, titled "The Religious Assembly Security and Protection Act of 2021," would remove laws that make it illegal to carry a gun on church grounds, including if a church runs a school.

However, the bill states that religious organizations themselves can choose to ban guns in their buildings if they so please.
The bill states:
SECTION 3. G.S. 14-269.2 is amended by adding a new subsection to read:
"(k1) For the purposes of this subsection, property owned by a local board of education or county commission shall not be construed as a building that is a place of religious worship as defined in G.S. 14-54.1. The provisions of this section shall not apply to a person who has a concealed handgun permit that is valid under Article 54B of this Chapter, or who is exempt from obtaining a permit pursuant to that Article, if all of the following conditions apply:
(1) The person possesses and carries a handgun on educational property other than an institution of higher education as defined by G.S. 116-143.1 or a nonpublic, postsecondary educational institution.
(2) The educational property is the location of both a school and a building that is a place of religious worship as defined in G.S. 14-54.1.
(3) The weapon is a handgun.
(4) The handgun is only possessed and carried on educational property outside of the school operating hours.
(5) The person or persons in legal possession or control of the premises have not posted a conspicuous notice prohibiting the carrying of a concealed handgun on the premises in accordance with G.S. 14-415.11(c)."
As there have been recent church shootings, this move would allow churches to put together security plans with volunteers from the church itself. This allows congregants to stand up and help keep their church secure, even when their child or other children also may attend the schools on those church grounds.
