I had an argument the other day with my mom and dad after church last sunday (we attend the same church) about concealed carrying to church. My argument was that when going to and leaving church you may need to protect yourself, possibly (however unlikely) in church as well. They stated that no one needed a gun in church.
Our church is in the middle of a pretty bad area. To be exact, most of the town has random bad areas in it due to old mill houses, apartments, and cheap housing areas springing up where ever they can. I know a few people who live in the area around the church. They abuse government programs, sell drugs, are too lazy to go the bathroom and save it up in bottles, and other random things that are both sick and highly criminal. The other week my car got keyed at church. Overall, I'd feel safer in the area (and alot of other places in town) concealed carrying. But apparantly my parents feel differently.
Our church is a Southern Baptist one, and therefore I'd expect them to be pro gun, but every event or trip they have has a strict no weapons policy. However, I'm not sure how'd they feel about me carrying a handgun during service.
What do you guys think about guns in church?
