I was at the Jefferson County, KY Sheriff's Office yesterday and saw a stack of CCDW pamphlets, which I decided to pick up and look over.

One portion is quoted as follows:

Remember..
A Concealed Firearm or other deadly weapon MAY NOT be carried into the following places:


*Church, synagogue, house of worship or other property owned, leased or otherwise used or operated by a religious organization.

Last I heard was the opposite here in KY. I am going to be contacting the Sheriff about this mis-information or seek clarification. Have the laws changed?
