Maybe in your instructor class, DPS never stated that churches were off-limits because of one particular attorney who was taking that class.

If they do not post the 30.06 sign then your not prohibited."

I can assure you that our local police department is not interpreting this the way that DPS "wants" them to! - I asked

IADNAL... To me it doesn't really matter what they "want", it matters what is written in the law. I have no fear of carrying in church, and all of the officer's that attend with me know that I do and encourage it.

I've never seen that, but it's a possibility.

Don't read the bulletin!!!



One of the main reasons for me getting a CHL was specifically to carry at church. That being said... The logistics of actually firing my weapon in an auditorium full of most likely panicked people scares me to death!!!!
