I have a friend who's fond of pointing out the Sermon on the Mount was delivered to an armed gathering - staves and knives were the defensive weapons of the day.LucasMcCain wrote:I would not attend a church that prevented concealed carry. If a church will not allow me to protect myself and others, I view that as contrary to scripture, and it would make me wonder what else about that church is not doctrinally sound. My church does not post signs, but will politely ask anyone open carrying to cover up. I don't think it has actually come up so far, though. I don't have a problem with that, as scripture does support this behavior.Rhino1 wrote:My related question is, do you avoid churches that post 30.06 or 30.07? I have the same position as i do with a business. When we moved here two years ago, we visited a church in New Braunfels several times but never saw a sign. While reviewing the Texas3006.com app for local businesses that were posted, I was surprised to see they were posted 30.06 at the entry to the parking lot. They are now posted with both. We found another church that we like better that is not posted.
Personally, as much as I hate the civil rights question of denying arms, I hate to mess with mine. It's safer to just leave it quietly where it is, in the holster. I try to restrict my range to places where I can carry.
30.07, I just sigh and carry on (concealed) unless there is a freer alternative. 30.06, I go elsewhere if at all possible. My wife was in the hospital for an extended stay and I abandoned a gun in the parking lot, locked in my car, many, many times. I didn't think that was a good idea, but their property, their signs.
There is a little bar and grill I would like to go to much more often. Their burgers are legendary but they are posted with a 51% sign. I don't think they really get 51% of their revenue from hooch, but that's what the state told them to post. It's not the business' fault. I've eaten there. I just don't like to disarm/rearm.
Here's hoping for HB560.
