HB1365 would have repealed the ban against possessing a firearm at a “church or other place of worship” and let any political subdivision enact less restrictive ordinances for a “school.”
The House failed to pass HB1365 on February 25, 2025, by a vote of 29 to 62. We have assigned pluses to the yeas because this bill eases blatantly unconstitutional gun-control measures. “Gun-free zones” are demonstrably unsafe. Every person has a natural, individual right to self-defense, irrespective of their location, which is why the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution expressly declares, without qualification, that “the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”
