Re: Church Safety Team Carry (DPS lawyer says No)

It seems to me that people might be going way too far into this.

Going back to the first post, I saw this:
toddlinder wrote: if a church team member discharged their weapon, or something else happened, and then DPS happened to find out that the CHL person was preforming a "security type" job. They would then say he/she was engaged in security work without a license.
I don't think DPS is going to be raiding churches, trying to catch people "engaged in security work without a license", to cite them. The only time that you could get 'caught' doing this, would be if someone reported it (concealed is concealed) or after an incident that necessitated the drawing and use of your Concealed Handgun.

And if you did, indeed, have to use your concealed handgun, then I think you may have bigger things to worry about then an "engaged in security work without a license" charge.
Better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6 in this situation.

Seems like the answer is pretty simple to me. Do it anyways.

YMMV, IANAL, PEBKAC and all that :P
