Church carry if -

You get permission from the staff.
Our church family is shrinking.
I know it's not just Methodists. Presbyterian Church USA is for gun control (the Presbyterian Church of America is not, or at least much less so.)

I've distributed communion with my 357 in my pocket. I don't get the concern
I respectfully submit that I think you are extrapolating from your own state's laws and don't have any real statistics. I live in a state that is generally considered unfriendly to firearms and to the 2nd Amendment, yet church carry is NOT prohibited in this state. We have 50 states. If carry in church is prohibited in "most" of them, that must mean it is prohibited in at least 26 states.farmerboy said:... what I mean is for most states it is off limits and even though I wouldnt worry about that so much ...

Yesterday we were in church singing and I happen to glance outside the window and noticed two shady looking individuals both dressed in a Goth-style wardrobe featuring long black trench coats. Their behavior was odd enough that I stopped singing and watched them pass by the outside of the church very slowly. They never spoke to eachother but they sure looked to be on a mission. I couldn't help but think of Columbine.
That's certainly the right thing to do.I would think the right thing to do would be to offer a couple of misguided looking guys an open hand and welcoming spirit at a church.
This is an example of a fallacy of composition.Not meet them with a paranoid, judgemental attitute and a pistol.
