Attorney General says guns in church is ok, provided church is ok with it

Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli has provided an advisory opinion to Del. Mark Cole regarding whether citizens are allowed to carry firearms for self-protection into places of worship.

Apparently this is a hot topic for legislators because this was the third such request for an opinion.

“It is the opinion of the attorney general, based on a thorough review of existing law and relevant prior court decisions, that carrying a weapon for self-defense legally constitutes a “good and sufficient reason” under the statute. This opinion assumes that the citizen is lawfully able to carry a weapon, and if carrying concealed, has the appropriate permit to do so. “

Of course, the AG goes on to say:

“…while the Constitution of Virginia protects the right to bear arms, it also recognizes the importance of property rights. Churches, synagogues, mosques, and other religious entities – like any other owner of private property – can restrict or ban the carrying of weapons onto their premises.”

I must admit, there have been times while I have been at my former church where the thought of having a weapon handy was not such a bad idea.

The bottom-line is that the AG sided with freedom again – it is the private owner who decides what can and cannot be permitted on their own property.

Kudos on another practical – and well-founded – legal opinion by Virginia’s Attorney General that favors freedom over the nanny-state.
