3-2 Final Project Milestone One: Departmental Policy and Issue Selection and Introduction

Milestone One: Departmental Policy and Issue Selection and Introduction
In Module Three, you will submit a 1–2-page document introducing the public policy issue that your departmental policy will seek to address. First, review the document A List of Public Policy Issues and select an issue. Next, review the document Examples of Departmental Policies and select a departmental policy that you plan to make improvement recommendations for to address this issue. Discuss related public policies of both the state and federal government on the issue that you seek to address with your departmental policy. Describe your selected policy issue, the related state or federal positions or actions on the issue, and explain the connection between the departmental policy and state or federal guidance on the issue. This milestone is graded with the Milestone One Rubric.

i) According to LRS 40:1379.3(M) & (N), no concealed handgun permit shall be valid or
entitle any permittee to carry a concealed weapon in any facility, building, location, zone, or area in which firearms are banned by state or federal law and no concealed handgun may be carried into and no concealed handgun permit issued pursuant to this Section shall authorize or entitle a permittee to carry a concealed handgun in any of the following:

h) Any church, synagogue, mosque, or other similar place of worship, eligible for qualification as a tax-exempt organization under 26 U.S.C. 501, unless authorized by the person who has authority over the administration of the church, synagogue, mosque, or other similar place of worship.

The policy above is what I want to address. I believe any Louisiana state issue concealed gun permit owner shall have the right to conceal carry in churches. Please include the proper evidence needed to back this statement. The obvious is to prevent the masa shootings that occur in churches all across America. This will be a way to prevent these from happening and lessen the fatalities.
