Many here go to churches where hugging is common .... the only advice I can offer is "Go Low"
In other words, Put your arms lower than theirs, so they hug your neck.

I'm sure lots of people think it's wrong. Disarming in places of worship probably goes back to the days of bronze swords in some cultures. If I could have a guarantee that God would strike dead any evildoer attempting to enter his house with a weapon in hand and foul deeds in his heart, then maybe wouldn't feel the need to bring mine. Until then, I think it's our responsibility to look after ourselves, no matter where we are.Venus Pax wrote:I still carry in church, and my mother thinks I'm offending God.
I have been to lots of churches which have at least one cross.
Historically, guns are less lethal than crosses, showing that in our church, we respect life, and intend to protect it.
Every armed CHL ion our church knows to shoot to STOP, rather than shoot to kill. The number of bullets a person of evil intentions requires to get the message to stop, is up to him.
As at Dragonfighter's church, at least 6 would return fire, including the Pastor and Deacons and ex-LEO and his CHL girlfriend and others in the congregation.
