2,000? I would have gone higher than that! that counts 1st Baptist of Georgetown, I'm pretty sure, and I wouldn't have counted that as a mega church, (it's big, now....I remember when....). When I think mega- I think Warren, Osteen, and a couple others in H. oh, well, I'm sure you know what you're talking about.

I'm not sure what the beef is with the 'mega-church' They are the ones who historically have to deal with security issues, well, all of the larger churches, up to and including 'mega-churches'. Over most of my adult life I've attended large churches, until the last two years. Even in the largest church I attended, the senior pastor was 'accessible' if the issue was important enough to the person.

Bat, it's kinda hard to tell from your post how much of it is hypothetical and how much of it has happened to this point. If the od leo is the only security on, I hope it's a smallish church! But more to the point, at most churches a security leo is hired by the church, he has no authority to say what someone can or can't do other than that they can't break into cars or shoot up the parking lot! (That's why I've always liked having church members patrolling, we can keep the teens where they belong, too ) Personally, I would say speak to the pastor, just like we told retrieverman, use the scriptures we've spoken of in other threads, if he says "no carry" then leave.
