I thought that case law had determined that premises means building and parking lot means parking lot. thus we can carry on the campus of a college, but not in a building until the law goes into effect.

that's sad. Probably the first church I've heard of that's posted, even if it's wrong.

Interesting, which one in NB is posted? just out of curiosity. I'm in Schertz.

My husband says he is pretty sure the law was changed the next Leg session after the CHL law was passed.

I've got a couple of thoughts on this conversations. 1) concealed means concealed. This means no one needs to know that you are carrying, including your pastor, or the lead deacon. 2) While I sort of understand, in some churches, wanting to just go to the pastor and get it cleared up; see number 1.

As to if a gun is needed in church, just ask him about New Life in Colorado Springs, see if that rings any bells. I lived there at the time. That is one day I never want to live through again in my life.

Luke told His disciples to go get a weapon. Your pastor may have been telling you not to worry, that you don't "need" to carry, but he's not going to tell you "to" carry, that would be wrong on a couple of levels. He should, however, be able to tell you that it's ok when asked if it is.
