Recently Lott testified at a hearing of the Senate Judiciary Committee in support of Senate Bill 442, which would allow concealed-carry holders to carry their firearms in schools, churches, sports arenas, bars and other places where the concealed carrying of guns is now banned.

Federal gun laws are so lacking in terms of creating a way to keep us safe � the notion that under the federal law all Americans are not required to actually get a permit for a gun, to go through a real background check for that gun, to have a waiting period before they can acquire a gun, to go through some training before they can acquire a gun, to actually be able to state in some clear terms why is it that you have to have a gun.
