Re: Church carry?
Don't get me wrong. My psychosis is very small and I have carried during weekday services. Access is the larger issue. Besides that I have a few in the pews that are ready to take care of any threat. Not many people know that I have a license and no one knows when I carry, except for a retired LEO (and he hasn't said a word. Just guessing he knows.)

Re: Church carry?
I am one of those pastors who carries at church. I do not carry during Sunday morning worship, but will most any other time. Realistically, the vestments I wear would render any concealed weapon inaccessible and I do have some psychosis about packing while leading Sunday worship.
The church is in a "rough"neighborhood and it seems prudent to be able to defend myself or members of my church.
Oddly enough, I am a reserve Navy chaplain and cannot carry a weapon. I spent 7 months in Iraq and was unarmed because of the U.S. military policy regarding chaplains.
By the way, I carry a Bersa .380 concealed carry model in a tuckable IWB. I do keep it discreet.
