I can certainly understand her fear, I suppose reinforcing your stance that the perp who attacked her used his gun for harm whereas you carry yours to protect yourself and her, might help?

as for those people who believe that carrying in a church is wrong or that "G-d will protect his church" well, all I can say is I lived in CO Springs during the shootings...I got the phone calls from family and friends "was that your church. I knew of the family, didn't know the family, but knew of them, they were homeschoolers, we're a small community. My doctor was right there and worked on the girls until the EMT's got there...there were very few people in that small city who weren't affected by that shooting.
But G-d did protect his church that day, with a young woman with a gun. We can't make Him do all the work. We're told in scripture to arm ourselves.

I may just gradually start carrying, once she gets more used to it. She ocassionally will come up and pat my hips to see if I have it on or not. I have told her she does not need to do that since chances are I will have it.

My wife has asked me to not carry, but I am trying to work on her like water on a rock. I need the pastor to tell her he wants me to carry. At any rate, his son-in-law is also a CHL guy, and he does carry every Sunday, Wednesday, and so on.

Not sure if this one was meant for me (the OP) or the person who posted a couple entries ago, but...

My wife has the mentality that it is church and who needs to carry to church. Maybe a false sense of security that nobody would commit and atrocity in the Lord's house.

I, on the other hand, do not believe that somebody crazy really cares about that. Kind of like the false sense of security a 30.06 sign gives antis.

Same here. Though when she said God would protect the church, I responded how do you know God's not acting through me?

Not on an ego trip, just sayin.
