If I can provide "security" for my family and other innocents when I'm not at church, I see no compelling reason why the state should be concerned with me doing it while at church - beyond the obvious $$$ interests of security firms. I don't think anyone could suggest that the reason for security at churches is to control traffic or impress anyone with silly badges and shirts. Only the unthinkable occurring in a crowded church would ever warrant the weapon anyway. Having successfully denied the means to prevent such a mass shooting, who in government should the people hold responsible?

Edit: I'm pretty sure this is the same guy who did a newspaper interview prior to conducting one of his seminars where I used to live in which he stated that, according to Texas law, a CHL holder was barred from carrying in a church at all. He got called on that publicly during the seminar. The results were as you might imagine.

Instead, join the safety team.

It doesn't matter if they are called the comedy team, If their mission meets the definition of guard in the Private Security Act, 1702 of the Occupations Code, they need licensing.

And it's against the law to spit on the sidewalk. Show me an example of a member of a church "safety team" being fined or charged under the private security act.
