Once our church no longer meets in a school (in TX they're off limits even on Sunday), my husband & I will both carry in church, provided the new church building isn't posted 30-06 and I doubt it will be. I think enough folks remember the in-church massacre where some BG just wandered in and shot the place up during worship, a few years back in Ft Worth.

Though this doesn't directly address the issue of carrying in a church, with the current situation suffice it to say that I do carry in my synagogue. None of my co-congregants know, and I doubt that many would approve, but with the reality of Islamic terrorism, I do carry, particularly on major holidays.

No one has to know you are carrying. Given the way the world is today I think it a prudent thing to do.

In Ohio it is illegal to carry in a church (and a whole bunch of other places defined by the legislature) in one section of the statute. In another section there is apparently permission for the congregation to decide for itself if it wants to allow ccw.

What a great thread!
I personally agree with many on the idea; If a BG followed the rules to start with, I wouldn't need to carry in church. Which I do every week!

Sounds like you all pretty much summed up what I was thinking

So much for turning the other cheek. (teasing)
Serious question: would you carry in a Quaker Meetinghouse or JW Kingdom Hall (keeping in mind these are religious pacifist groups)? In VA, the law says I can only CCW in a place of worship "for good reason" -- but doesn't spell out what a good reason is. The doublebind there is that it's left to me to interpret whether or not to carry, but up to a prosecutor and judge or jury to decide whether I guessed correctly or not.

So, I exercise my freedom not to go there! I know somebody will say "Those institutions (and businesses that forbid carry) are infringing on MY rights. " Wrong. They are exercising THEIRS. Unless you are COMPELLED to go to that business, your rights have not been touched.

Okay, not trying to get off topic, but this has gotten me thinking. My CWP should be coming in the mail any time, and I plan on carrying a small .38 revolver IWB. I also teach childrens church, and the kids often hug me. How can I avoid them hitting and noticing that lump on my waist? I don't know that I'd be comfortable with an ankle holster, but I may have to give it a try.

I agree, I never leave home without it, my .45 kimber sword goes everywhere I go.
