In a final dash before the legislative session ended Thursday, the Georgia General Assembly passed a bill widely expanding gun rights. But, language regarding the most controversial aspect of the bill was tweaked and modified by the House and Senate until they agreed on a single version at the last minute. The original bill had sought to allow license holders to carry guns in houses of worship, though it was always the intent to give pastors, rabbis, imams and other leaders the choice to bar firearms.
