For religious institutions still grappling with the signage issues around the concealed carry legislation, which takes effect Nov. 1, the Wisconsin Council of Churches offers a number of resources on its web site. The page includes a summary of the bill, a link to the Justice Department’s concealed carry web site, examples of signs and other resources.

Be prophetic with signage... we encourage congregations to be creative, making use of scripture and church tradition to make a public witness like this:
Love casts out fear.
No guns here.

Ask the victims of these church shootings if "love cast out fear". :mad:
Most news reports describe absolute terror.
Lakeland, FL (2011);
Richmond, CA (2010);
Baton Rouge, LA (2009);
Maryville, IL (2009);
Knoxville, TN (2008);
Clifton, NJ (2008);
Neosho, MO (2007);
Colorado Springs, CO (2007) - second massacre stopped by armed citizen;
Detroit, MI (2006);
Brookfield, WI (2005);
Garden Grove, CA (2004);
Atlanta, GA (2003)

This is sad... There's a national church shooting database (1980-2005):

I'll get over to UW-Milwaukee to try & download a copy of it, since it's a members-only database.
