Re: Carrying at Church?

I am a priest at an Anglican church. I carry on Sundays like most other days. I say most because on days that I go to hospitals I leave it at home. I hate leaving a pistol in the car.

I carry my XD9sc in a tuckable holster at 4:00 on my right hip. I hug nearly everyone at the end of the service and have never been outed or no one has commented. I have a retired LEO who occasionally comes up and checks to see if I am carrying and one of our altar guild always has Glock 26 in her purse. We were talking guns one day and she just couldn't resist a quick check. I know of at least 2-3 others who are licensed, but don't know if they carry or not.

One of the great things about my job is that I have the best concealment rig ever. Everyday at work I wear black pants, a black shirt and a white collar. No one ever expects the good padre to be packin'. I could probably open carry behind my hip and nobody would notice. Urban Catholic Camouflage.
