The recent church shootings outside of Baton Rouge have brought up the topic of carrying concealed firearms in church. I've discussed this with several friends and co-workers, all of whom feel it is a MORTAL SIN to even THINK about bringing your gun to church. The most suprising thing to me was that even several ardent gun owners (mostly with a hunting mindset - not a personal protection mindset) considered this practice taboo. Quite frankly, I've never given this much thought. When I decided to start carrying a concealed firearm, I decided to carry one with me whenever possible. While I feel no particular threat during a worship service or Sunday school, I've always had the mindset that the very time I needed my gun the most would be the one time that I failed to have it with me.
I'd be interested in hearing your thoughts on this subject. I'm not talking about the legality of it; I want to hear about the morality of it.
