“Last year, they added the purse or bag (concealed carry), and we really didn’t speak out. We didn’t like it, but we didn’t speak out that much because if a weapon is in a bag or a purse it’s not as readily accessible, therefore it’s not as high of a threat to law enforcement, If it’s in a holster or sheath and if it’s carried concealed, that’s elevating the threat against law enforcement.” – Mississippi Police Chiefs Association Executive Director Ken Winter in Guns in church bill moves forward [via clarionledger.com]
