Arkansas Governor Mike Beebe has signed a bill into law that will allow guns in churches.

Mike Beebe put the law on the books early this afternoon at the State Capitol.

The law allows churches to choose whether to allow handguns in their sanctuary.

If a church gives members the go ahead, the new law would only allow people with carry conceal permits to arm themselves inside the church.
