Had to post this. It's from another thread but maybe you could use it to tell your church leaders that God is carrying and he is not happy about the 30.06 signage...

I carry my XD9sc in a tuckable holster at 4:00 on my right hip. I hug nearly everyone at the end of the service and have never been outed or no one has commented. I have a retired LEO who occasionally comes up and checks to see if I am carrying and one of our altar guild always has Glock 26 in her purse. We were talking guns one day and she just couldn't resist a quick check. I know of at least 2-3 others who are licensed, but don't know if they carry or not.

One of the great things about my job is that I have the best concealment rig ever. Everyday at work I wear black pants, a black shirt and a white collar. No one ever expects the good padre to be packin'. I could probably open carry behind my hip and nobody would notice. Urban Catholic Camouflage.
Very nice Father, very nice. :thumbs2:

All this discussion has me wondering how many in our congregation are carrying. I may start checking...

Re: Carrying at Church?

RPB and RPBrown...

Thanks for the replies. I appreciate the help.

I haven't looked at smaller weapons for pocket carry. I own a Browning Hi Power in addition to my XDM.

I may have to go gun shoppin'...

Carrying at Church?

I know I have seen several discussions about carrying at Church and I wanted to post a couple of questions.

I have not carried at Church yet because I am not sure I could do it without being discovered. I play in our church band and our normal "uniform" is jeans and t-shirts. I am also frequently hugged at church and I worry about someone discovering my weapon during one of these hugs.

My carrying configuration is an XDM 9 Compact in a CompTac MTAC IWB.

For some of you who do carry at Church here are a couple of questions:

1. How do you dress around your weapon at Church?
2. How do you deal with hugs that may expose your weapon if you were carrying.

Thanks.
