You are correct. This topic has been discussed several times on the forum. Most members are aware of this and have not made official security teams at their respective churches.imkopaka wrote:I agree with Mr. Cotton, but would like to add one other scenario where trouble could arise. If you take it the opposite route of posting signs and instead the church staff puts together a security team or asks its members to carry, it can get the church in serious hot water if someone uses a firearm negligently - especially if the team is paid or considered "official" and they don't have the necessary security certification.
Not quite what you asked, OP, but it's the only other area I see where LTC issues can bring about church liability.
In addition to civil liability, I believe that the members of such a team could also be criminally charged for providing security without proper certification. IANAL
