Church and child Daycare

imported post

I realize you can not legaly carry in a place of worship. Does that include the whole property or is it legal to carry in the parking lot? I also realize it is illegal to carry on school grounds. Is a child daycare considered a school? What if "learning center" is in the title?

As an CCPastor, who advocates such in light of the recent church shootings and the expected increase as more "terror" type crimes pitting extremeists against Believers occur, I advocate carry inside the church. I have stipulated those who are deemed as security, myself included, and posted as such to the entire congregation. I don't think the local SO would disagree and his opinions were conveyed to me in a "round about" way. Blackrobed Rev.
