I wonder how they "discourage" illegal carry.Photoman wrote:Strange conclusion. Very inconsistent.tboesche wrote:"we don't ban it but do discourage it".
He had been shot in the incident. I can understand an emotional responce to a traumatic situation. In the end they let logic dictate the rules. I'm sure that are others in the church that insist that they carry. I as a newcomer in that church would respect their feelings and not bring it up again.Photoman wrote:tboesche wrote:"we don't ban it but do discourage it".

I think there are some psychological states that we can't understand if we don't share the experience.tboesche wrote:Incidentally, the man who was shot is a gunner. As he tells the story, he recognised the make and caliber of the gun just before he was shot with it.

My father was in combat in WW II. He was shot at by Japanese planes. He had bombs dropped on his position. He lost friends. Afterward, he had no use for guns. I respected his feelings.

I carry at my Synagogue. Those who need to know, know. With Islamo-fascists, neo-Nazis and assorted nutjobs aplenty out there, I count on prayer and my .38 to keep me safe.Sarah81 wrote:I go to a little country church that's basically in the middle of nowhere.

My pastor could not care less if we pack at church. If you can legally carry, then he's just fine with you bringing your gun. Our Bible study teacher does just that *grins* He got his plastic in the mail right around the time that I took my class. I don't know if anybody else in the church carries, though. It's not something that comes up very often.
Then again...there are some people in the congregation who would pass out and choke on their own outrage if they knew that people in the church are carrying. What they don't know can't hurt them. Might save their lives if something horrible happens, though.
