How do you feel about guns in churches?

[LisaC]

I'm not opposed to mandatory firearms training; but we still have the same problem as we would with gun control...the bad guys won't abide by it.

I didn't start this topic as a good guys v. bad guys discussion. I'm interested in how people feel about gun owners who violate the concealed/carry laws in this state. I'm seeing that most conservatives find this okay. I don't.

I think this is a great (and much needed) topic. I obtained my first CCP within the last year and I admit I was not clear on where I could and couldn't legally carry. I was surprised that when I asked friends and family (many who were long time CCP holders) I got conflicting answers. This told me it was a common issue. Now, when I carry, I just make sure I know where I'm going and what my schedule is before taking any weapon with me. If I'm uncertain then I double check before leaving my home. My wife and I stopped at a store recently, I was carrying. I missed the sign on the door which stated "No Weapons Allowed." Luckily my wife saw it and made me take it back to the car. I think many people probably assume they're allowed to carry at church as well as other places when in reality they really don't know for sure and don't take time to clarify. As for those who knowingly violate the "rule", they better hope they don't get "caught" and charges be brought against them (even if it's just a warning). I'm sure any recorded violation will be considered when they go to renew their permit.

georgiacarry.org is a great website to refer to any time you have questions about where it is or isn't okay to carry.

I don't think he's in GA, so that wouldn't help him. But, may lead him to a site in his own area.

He is. He bought pine straw from us!

Maybe she got confused because I swear there are parts of Paulding that really make you think you are in the back woods of Alabama...

I would be scared to come to a hwy gathering if some folks had guns... just sayin lol

SOme people carry guns because they thing it makes them look cool. My friends hubby carries his gun everywhere. We have stopped going places with them because he refuses to take it off. He carries it to church. Thankfully I do not attend his church.

Although he carries on his hip it still makes me uncomfy. SOme people have guns that should not. I would hate to go to church and sit beside someone like Barney fife.

ANyway, I have never seen a gun in church that wasn't one a service man in uniform. However I know people propabaly carry, just hidin.

I havent really thought of it but I do not like the idea of sitting by Joe Smo with a gun. It would be distracting to me and kinda creepy

That is how I feel...my opinion is mine and that is that

diva..lol Back woods of Alabama has more issues that Guns.. I have seen this 1st hand hahahaha

True, but I like the thought that when I go to church, they are supposed to leave them in the car (like the rest of us)...

So, what would you do if someone you wouldn't trust with a pea shooter told you they were packing a pistol while sitting in church with you?

First, lay fists, I mean lay hands on them. Second, pray for them (that they survive). Third, share a piece of fried chicken with them at the fellowship following service while you tell NASCAR & beer jokes.
