My Uncle does, he was actually asked to by the preacher. He attends a fairly large non-denomination Christian church in Picayune.

“45 long slide with laser sighting.”
“12 gauge auto loader.”
“Phased plasma rifle in the 40 watt range.”
“Just what you see here.”
“Uzi 9 milla metare.”
“You know your weapons buddy.”

My church has a security team. At least 2 people carry at every service. They take turns.

All I’m saying is you’ll want to be on good terms with the leadership. They can report you if you’re carrying without permission and you’ll be fricked.

No you won't. You'll be asked to either disarm, or leave. If you refuse you will be cited for trespassing.

I am a pastor. I keep my sidearm in the lower part of the pulpit. I can reach it easily if need be. I sincerely hope the need never be. But, this is where we are at in this country. Democrats have ruined this country.

The only place I’m typically not armed is the airport.

You can confess after you save the congregation's lives.

Not a law.

N. No concealed handgun may be carried into and no concealed handgun permit issued pursuant to this Section shall authorize or entitle a permittee to carry a concealed handgun in any of the following:




(8) Any church, synagogue, mosque, or other similar place of worship, eligible for qualification as a tax-exempt organization under 26 U.S.C. 501, unless authorized by the person who has authority over the administration of the church, synagogue, mosque, or other similar place of worship.





It’s very much a law and I’d recommend you baws either hide it really well or get approval from your pastor first

I doubt there were many adults among the attendees as this was a Mass for children at the school and if you attended parochial school you know what I am talking about.


Thankfully, the weekly catholic school mass wheee my daughter attends school has a healthy adult attendance along with volunteers from KoC at all entrances inside and out. Concealed carry is practiced.

Most of our elders carry concealed firearms, including our pastor. We also have several other members who carry, as well.

It’s good to defend the flock against evil.

Sure, one reason. Do you believe the only sign of someone suspicious is an exposed weapon?

Can't go wrong armed with a Bible and a concealed weapon.

Search bags for what?..most of the normal congregation is packing heat. We have a 90 year old widower who packs a SW .357 in her purse. The security team is there just incase someone tries to come in to "disrupt" services. No, we dont have a metal detector, but all secondary exterior doors only open from the inside and the main door in the foyer makes the little bell sound when opened.

We have a retired cop who sits in the last pew and he is packing. We also locked the doors when the service starts
