Church?

We have actually been doing Bible Studies at the Starbucks there...we weren't planning on doing those for the next few weeks.

Our regular services will be at a different location - we will post it soon as we are still negotiating with a couple of locations...trying to find an affordable yet not trashy place for a startup church isn't too easy.

You would think with all the thousands of empty locations in this valley folks would be a little more apt to work with potential renters.

We will likely be in a dance studio - open space with chairs and sound included, they are pretty ideal.

Keep us informed. I'm not sure how long it will take me to get there from home. I'll be living in Spring Valley. I'd like to get involved somehow.

Churches are privately owned property. No NRS affects private property w/ respect to possession of firearms. If a church desires to prohibit firearms, they are within their rights to ask you to leave and trespass you for refusing to comply with their request. That being said, Most church goers are probably not alarmed by someone carrying a firearm, so long as it is done in a responsible manner. You might be surprised to find out that, while you are one of a very select few who do not hide you firearm, there are more than a few people who carry to church. In the wake of the Sikh temple shooting in Wisconsin, More people should be Carrying where they worship, if you ask me.

I remembered this today when I drove past ICLV.....

Don't overlook that many churches also have licensed daycares and schools. That WOULD present a problem of the legal variety. Then it would get tricky, as it depends on which part of the building is the school....

Well, yeah, if they have a campus. I was thinking of iclv, where I happen to know it is in the same building, or central christian, same.

So yes, what part of the property, not just building.

Correct me please if I am wrong, but if a daycare/school is on said property you can not carry on said property w/out permission-buildings have nothing to do w/it right?
