What if he's hoping the same thing about you? If you have a philosophical reason for not carrying in church, then don't do it. But if that is your reason, then don't hope that the guy next to you is in philosophical disagreement with you, because he has no duty to protect you or your family. We don't carry our guns to protect folks we are not related to. We carry them to protect ourselves and our loved ones. If you won't carry in church to protect yourself or your loved ones, you have no right to expect that the guy next to you will do that
for you.
There is only one situation in which you can legitimately not carry into church AND hope that the other guy will protect you, and that is if you don't have your own plastic yet and you cannot
legally do so. There is absolutely nothing morally or theologically wrong with carrying your pistol into church. Your only concern should be whether or not the church is posted 30.06. But if you're not carrying into church because
you think that it is somehow wrong, then it is hypocritical to hope that the guy next to you is armed.
Please don't take this as a personal attack. I just think you need to clarify your thinking about this stuff, particularly if you are new to CHL.
