BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) - North Dakota's House approved a package of bills Monday that would allow someone with a concealed weapon permit to carry a gun inside a school or church if officials there allow it.

House members also endorsed a measure that allows a concealed carry permit holder to have a gun at public gatherings. Another bill approved by the House allows people to possess a gun in public during a declared state of emergency.

The slate of gun measures easily passed the House though some lawmakers were critical.
