I once made a written request of my Virginia church congregation leadership for me to be allowed to CC during services, to protect my family or anyone else near me in case of an attack on the church property. I have had my permit for many years. They turned me down, telling me there are two other people who are allowed to carry, and that "they got it covered." I have no idea if they mean CC or OC, but I have never seen anyone carry yet. I know these supposed guards are not there every single week. Besides finding another church that allows members to not be sitting ducks, does anyone have any advice on how I might be able to better deal with this going forward? Don't really want to switch membership, but am really not satisfied at all with the situation as is. I'd like to hear from saved folks who have ideas how to look at this in a Christian way, that honors God. Macho bluster and bravado ain't it. Thanks.
