(Worthy News) – A minister at a Texas church where a parishioner shot and killed a man who opened fire on the Sunday congregation thanked state leaders for granting the man the right to carry a firearm to the service.

A recent law passed in September allows Texas residents to carry firearms openly in places of worship. [ Source: Washington Examiner (Read More…) ]
