I mentioned to the man conducting our new members class(who incidentally was shot by the gunman) that I noticed the church was not 30.06 posted. He said nope! When I asked about the churches policy on LEGAL concealed carry his response was "we don't ban it but do discourage it".
I wonder if your church is the one I am thinking about. I'm guessing the gunman was not a CHL. So if a CHL had been there during the shooting someone could have saved lives. Obviously he has been through something tragic, just surprised he discourages lawful carry for protection in light of what happened.

I recall quite a few preachers who were very upset when the law originally passed banning CHL in churches. My father was a preacher of 35 years when that law came into effect. He never posted simply because he thought it would look ugly on the church. He is very uncomfortable with guns anyway.
