i plan on asking my pastor if i can carry in church, i was woundering if the law allows for cc in church with the pastor permision
Please be sure your Pastor is the "presiding official" of the church. Some churches have Boards that are the actual power behind the Pastor/Minister/etc.......... and the permission of the Board is needed... not just the Pastor.thanks for the responses ill have that talk with my pastor before next sunday
Stainless steel don't need much polish...Thats good to hear, could use a little polishing myself.
I recall reading a story in the news a decade or so ago. Seems some guy in a New England state caused a minor ruckus when he brought his rifle to church. Everyone was all upset and everything, and then he pointed out how EVERYONE else in the church had been violating the law by NOT bringing a rifle to church. Seems there was still a law on the books, from about 200 or so years ago that made it mandatory that every male church member bring a gun to church....in case of an Indian attack.Nice thing (hehe) about churches is there are a bazillion of them...and most of them don't have metal detectors.
In Va the statute is 'without sufficient cause' making it vague (probably intentional). It use to be in Va that taking a gun to church was mandatory. There's an interesting back story (scroll down to mid-page) to that and here's a link with that and more. Again, sorry to be posting Va law in the Michigan forum, but it gives perspective and Mods may move if they wish.

then give yourself permission :lol:
Can't, the first amendment doesn't mean any more to the .gov than the second. Since you can't CC either, the fourth went out the window as well.
I think so to.
According to the Christian doctrine, any Christian has the authority to make those decisions. All men have access to God through Jesus Christ, (For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.) so no building is really a church. The church is the people. IIRC, it was either Moses or Abraham that wanted to build a church first, and God laughed saying, (paraphrased) Thus saith the LORD, The heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool: where is the house that ye build unto me? and where is the place of my rest?
The first amendment is supposed to protect us from these intrusions and regulations, but it clearly does not.
