A couple of weeks ago a woman was shot to death in front of her mother by her estranged husband, soon to be x-husband. It happened on a Sunday in the church parking lot, during church services. He shot a total ten times at point blank range, kept shooting after she went down.
It was the woman's 30th birthday ... she leaves behind two young children.
Btw … our church does not allow guns.

Post count of 2, so you're probably new here.
This question comes up frequently. You should use the search function.
Does it happen? Yes. Is it allowed? Depends on the state.
Me? This is Illinois, dude.

If I belonged to a church that specifically posted no guns allowed,I would find another church.The church may be able to save my soul,but it's up to me to save my butt.

Well, concealed means concealed, as they say. I am not a church-going person, but if I were, I would.
I've even heard tiny hideout guns called "church guns," as another way of saying to carry one when you simply cannot carry anything bigger.

After what has happened in the recent past I will carry in church. If the paster doesn't like it...There are other churches that like my donations...And "concealed is concealed"...

Agreed. I always carry my P3AT in my sunday-go-to-meeting suit as well as my Tuxedo on those special occassions. If I dress down while at a service, I will carry a 642 in a Mika Holster. I do not, however, for some odd reason, ever carry my .45 ACP or .357 mag IWB/OWB while in church. Hmmm, guess I just do this to insure that it is never discovered that I carry while in church moreso than out of respect or anything. My church is full of tree huggers.

Just how low do they "hug" anyway...If they find my M43 at 4:00 IWB holster I might want to have a look at your church...Or do some wallet checking...

It's illegal to carry in church in Ga. Sometimes I break the law and carry a taurus 85 hammerless to the services. The congregation probably wouldn't mind if they knew, but I don't let anyone know anyway.
I carry at church. Every Wednesday night there is a kids program that I help out with. There are 20 or so kids in the class. But the thing is that it is held in a building that is about 20 yards from the main building. That concerns me somewhat so I carry. I also try to keep tabs on the kids that are being escorted to the bathroom - often by teenage girls. I would hate for anyone to be hurt along the way. Nobody but my wife knows (she carries too) but I took my CCW class with one of the other teachers so I assume that they would be okay with it.
I also carry during the regular services but I have so far elected to disarm while I am preaching (I teach regularly but I am not the pastor). I don't need to be concerned with printing or anything while I am delivering the message.

If you carry concealed nobody else knows so what does it matter how (or how not) your church might be posted as to concealed carry? I have carried concealed in excess of 40 years and have carried to church every time I go.

The ankle holster comes into its own when carrying in church. Not only does it conceal well but drawing from a sitting position (as you sit on that hard-seated pew whilst sneaking peeks at your watch) is one of the ankle holster's few fortes.

Only at church-weddings, & especially the receptions...They some times get too wild & plenty of "party-crashers"....

I've carried for years - and will certainly continue to do so - not only for the good of my loved ones but to intervene in the case of someone who becomes a threat.
In Colorado only the willingness of a legally-armed CCW permit holder to engage the bad guy saved lives. The media made much of her hero status but always emphasized she was an ex-cop and they constantly referred to her a 'security guard'.
She was in fact a valid CCW permit holder in Colorado who volunteered the day before to her pastor because of events in Denver. Thank goodness she was there, trained and ready to engage.
