Should You Be Allowed To Carry A Gun To Church?

not only do I believe you should be able to carry in church, I have a special "Sunday's Best" holster I use

OF COURSE! Why NOT!? What is the obsession with all of these 'gun free zones' crap etc.

It doesn't matter where you are, there is no difference. Anyway concealed is concealed. Would someone somehow summon the anti-christ from the 3rd dimension if they had a concealed weapon on them while worshiping?!?

There is such a rare and narrow set of places where nobody should carry (inside a jail/prison, inside a secure mental ward, etc.). Doesn't apply to most any of us.

I lived in Georgia for 9 years and had a Georgia Firearms License, which was for concealed carry only. That was the only reason you needed a license.

On the back of the license it states; Deadly weapons at public gatherings A person is guilty of a misdemeanor when he carries to or while at a public gathering any explosive compound , firearm. or knife designed for the purpose of offense or defense. public gathering shall include but not limited to athletic or sporting events, churches or church functions, political rallies, publicly owned buildings, or establishments where alcohol beverages are sold for consumption on the premises.

So there you have it not sure if that is current, I've been back in MA for 6 years.

The only one that should have a say in the matter is the church. It's private properly.

Man, that 'include but not limited to' line could be applied to pretty much anything. It sounds like you are allowed to carry only if you are sure to be by yourself.

It should be up to individual churches to decide. Even if they are against it, they won't know since it's CONCEALED carry. Unless they have metal detectors at the doors, and if that's the case you go to a different church.
