My church's official stand is neutral about guns, except to uphold the constitution and support all it's rights, even though guns are prohibited within the church walls. Although unofficially, many people carry in anyways, and it's usually with an unofficial 'ok' from the bishop after a short conversation. Also unofficially, I've never met a church official who was not pro-guns personally.

Mitch! LTNS. Wouldn't you burst into flames if you stepped into a house of the Lord?


Considering that there are a couple of church/wedding murders a year, and that the last big one was ended by a patron with a CCW,..

People have got to understand that people who carry CCW are not to be feared. These are people who have been certified by the state as being law abiding citizens, and with the formal training to understand the lawful use of force. These people have been checked out, they are not the enemy.

It is for this reason that I prefer concealed carry. Open carry casts a negative image in a war of images. I only carry openly when I am going camping or to the range. It freaks people out too much, especially my pimped 1911. You cannot miss it, even in the dark.
