dac and others:
I understand your concern over an armed confrontation and the extra confusion that CHL'ers might cause. I think there are some reasonable responses on here, and I don't think any sane CHL holder is gonna get irritated about being cuffed in a situation like that. It would be a very tight situation, and I don't think I'd draw unless a very specific set of conditions were met, namely that the BG was within 15 yards of me. I'd need to be firing at an upward angle (from my spot on the floor) to avoid the chance of hitting anyone else. At my church, I'd need to be firing upward and towards the front, as there is an upstairs to the rear with youth up there during the service. I'm also not going to take a 40 yard shot in a crowd.

Another thing to consider is the other situations at church. As noted by others, if you can't carry in the church, then you can't carry to/from in the parking lot. You also can't carry to your bible study class, or to committee meetings, which I used to have on Tuesday nights from 6:30-9. There isn't any security there then.

I think it is somewhat... selfish (dare I say) of the security force to request 30.06 posting. It makes one situation possibly better for them while creating several higher risk situations for the members. Not worth it to me. But that's just me.
