Church reacts to The Church Protection Act [View all]

JACKSON, Miss. (WJTV) – A new law will be on the books come July 1,2016 that allows armed security in churches and allows people to carry holstered weapons without a permit.

It’s been about 10 months since members of Mt. Helm Baptist Church in Jackson gathered to pray for Charleston, South Carolina.

Nine people died in Charleston — when Dylan Roof entered Emmanuel AME Church and opened fire last June.

Since then, things at Mt. Helm are much the same.
