We are pretty lucky in Oregon to not have churches from places restricted from carrying. Much of the rest of the country does! Therefore I carry at church although I usually will tuck it inside my shirt. It often shows when I am sitting down or moving chairs or something but it is usually hidden enough so as not to upset newcomers.
Last night I met up with my Pastor accidently at another gathering and he pulled me aside and said "missed you this Sunday." I thanked him with the normal pleasantries and he said "no, I REALLY missed you..." and then proceeded to tell me we had a walk-in visitor that was there looking for hand outs. They helped him the best they could and even got him a ride back into town. Later that afternoon they saw on the news his guy was wanted for assault with a weapon. The Pastor said that at that point when he saw the news his stomach dropped and he realized just how comforted he is knowing that there are some of who do carry in His church!
I got a small warm fuzzie at least out of it.
