He didn't have it with him, but he does have it at home and is going to call it in now that he has a police report number. I told him I keep all of my serial numbers on a hidden file on my phone and on my laptop.

A new member of our church had his vehicle burglarized this morning while at our church. Waited with him until LEO arrived... he was very concerned because a weapon was stolen. He said he always carries, but since it is illegal to carry in a church he left it in his vehicle. I immediately corrected him and showed him 46.035 on my phone and stated that we are not 30.06 posted. He then told me that the instructor at the CHL class he recently took stated: "The law was recently changed and it is illegal to carry at church unless the entire board gives you written permission that has to be signed by the entire board and you must carry the document on your person if carrying at the church."

My question, is DPS still giving incorrect information to CHL instructors? He stated that the law just "recently" changed. The legislature hasn't met since June 2009 if memory serves. As Charles responded to my post in Dec 2009, the law has not changed since 1997: viewtopic.php?f=7&t=30136 that a group of CHL instructors were incorrectly told by a DPS attorney about this very thing. The gentleman this morning could not remember the name of the instructor, but told me where he went. I will try to find out why this instructor is teaching this in his class.

The funny part, we are Baptist, we do not have a "board". Our polity is congregational, so I guess EVERY member of the church would have to sign the document. I would need to carry a backpack to hold that document.
