That reminds me of the time we (as a church) were out putting out door hangers in a neighborhood close to the church. The preacher (and a good friend on mine) rolls up in his vehicle and I walk over to his window. He whispers to me "Are you packing?" and I answered "I'm outside aren't I?"

I was quite pleased that he had to ask as I had one in an OWB holster covered only by my a t-shirt.

Actually I was thinking of carrying a handgun. Those swords are way too hard to conceal

Just curious but why would being in a church be any different to outside of church for that verse to apply? If you aren't comfortable carrying in church because of that verse then why carry at all? The Bible applies outside of church possibly even more so than inside.

It of course is your choice, my choice is protect myself and my family at all times. Too many incidents happen at churchs for me to ever consider not carrying there. I believe we are also changed to protect the weak and vulnerable aren't we?

Does your church meet in a school premises?

(btw I carry to my church everytime I go there....sometimes more guns than I should! )
