I am placing that on our front door - "No Gum - No Cell Phones - All Guns Welcome."

But many churches have a doctrine against carrying weapons or engaging in any violence in church. The Catholic church is one. I imagine the pacifistic faiths like Jehova's Witnesses do also.

I don't know about others, but I'd have a huge problem being a member of a church that felt I should just submit to violence.

It all goes back to where you want to go. The Church is still inviting the PUBLIC, so it should not be off limits. I agree with you, I would not be there either. There are many places I do not shop because of the 30.06. Do be frankly honest it is might RIGHT to carry. So, I feel my rights are violated. I don't like the ideal of having to have the CHL, because I go back to it is my RIGHT to carry. Just my little brain thinking out loud.

Plus 1 Mr. Cotton. I have never thought about the Courts before, but that is also true. I had the non pleasurable experience of being with in court with family members of a police officer who was on trial. When the verdict was rendered it was a very bad scene. Courts, jails, etc. . .should remain off limits. A business is an open invitation to the PUBLIC and also believe a Church is an open invitation for the PUBLIC and I believe strongly that it is my right to be able to protect myself.

I do not know if anyone else agrees or not, but I would like the 30.06 to be done away with. I would even go for the CHL class time to be increased if they would allow carry every where just as a Peace Officer. Anyone else vote for this?
