Multiple new laws designed to loosen regulations on gun control go into effect in Texas on Sunday, one day after the state suffered its second mass shooting in less than a month.

The new laws, passed by the states legislature in August, will allow firearms in public places like schools and churches, as well as foster homes and rental properties.

One measure, House Bill 1143, bans school districts from blocking licensed gun owners from keeping their firearms in school parking lots, so long as the weapons are inside locked vehicle and not within view.
