    You don't pick the time when something bad happens. I'd hate for my last thought to be, "wish I hadn't left my gun in the car...". I'm not a bad ass but at the very least I want the option to protect my family and myself.

    I have no problems carrying a gun into church. As Nate said, the thugs arent too discriminative. Some churches are hush hush about having a few men designated as "armed guards" if you will, at least so I've heard. Not a bad idea considering a church honestly could be considered a religious target of other more "disruptive" religions.

    When I was going to church I carried. I would often times follow the person carrying the tithe and offerings bag to the office next door. He never knew I was armed but I would have not have let him get robbed. I go to a meeting house now that has a no gun policy but I still carry because they pass the basket for donations.

    Is this a trick question ??

    May I please ask --> WHY NOT CARRY A GUN IN ANY HOUSE OF WORSHIP ??

    What ......God wouldn't like it ?? If you are a responsible gun owner with a CWP,go for it. I have talked to people that are THE armed security guard at their church. That is their (unpaid) job on Sunday morning ..... at their church. --- SAWMAN

    Denny, who has all the guns ..... the "little ones" or the "older folks" ?? You must be Baptist.

    Seriously though,nowadays people have to be armed most anywhere they go. I absolutely hate it when I have to be disarmed by some darn rule or reg. ........ usually made by the government that loves us and is committed to taking care of us,right ?? --- SAWMAN

    I ask this question cause, I feel safe when I go to church. But some crazy person mite hate god or the pastor. And with this day and times it pays to carry or have, some type of weapon. Even when I attend Mardi gras I would like to carry, but it's a felony

    Like Denny Said, most Churches have an armed security team. They just don't advertise it.

    We have a school on campus so it's definitely not an option for me. I know concealed means concealed and all but it's not worth losing my rights for life over and the law is the law. And if I have to go I figure what better time when 100% focused on, praying, and giving thanks to my creator.
