A Georgia law banning firearms in all churches and other places of worship will stay in place to the relief of at least two pastors in Gainesville. The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday refused to hear an appeal from GeorgiaCarry.org, which wanted the justices to overturn a lower court decision upholding Georgia’s law banning guns in churches and other places of worship. GeorgiaCarry Executive Director Jerry Henry said the group wanted the state to allow churches to decide for themselves whether to permit people to carry firearms into church.
