| After the recent church shootings , and school shootings and the shootings that took place in NEW YORK, it is not safe to go anywhere anymore, now I'm not an anti-God type of guy, believe me i do believe in GOD but when your sitting in your church and some crazed gunmen comes in for what ever reason and starts to shoot people in the church i would like to have a fighting chance at stopping him and the way i see it , it can only be done by force,and that force is with my own weapon, i have had some training and continue to train with it , that is the only way i can effectively protect my family and or members of the church. So tell me what you all think about carrying in church ?

I carry each and every Sunday and study with permission of the Elders/Preacher!
If a thug will rob a gas station for $50 what would they do for $3000+ thinking that no one was armed and mostly old people!

I agree but the law keeps people like you and I from carrying in the church, and permission from your Paster, Elders, or your preacher is not clearance for you to carry in church, you and the church are breaking the law. However you can carry in church as long as there is no school, preschool, or day care of any kind on the grounds of the church.

The law DOES NOT keep you from carrying in Church. We do not have any type of school associated with our congregation.
It's legal! Thank you.

Glockman, A simple resolution is to ask the pastor to allow you to assemble a security force who would have the responsibility to check the lot during church meetings and lock and secure the building and grounds after each service. As an appointed security officer for your church you are then legal to carry in your church even though you have a school or preschool associated with the church.
