I thought we'd figured out that it was only armed....
Although I'm still trying to figure out what right the state has to tell churches what to do within the church.
I agree that it's silly that a volunteer "security" team should be regulated by the state. Unfortunately, it's difficult if not impossible for some small churches to be able to afford this, and still continue their work. I know at my small church, we have no security team. There are some members who are police, and several are LTCs who carry. But there is no official security team, and I believe that the law that HB 421 is attempting to fix is why.
