Is Your Church / Synagogue / Mosque Posting 30.07?

I am curious to know if your place of worship has or will be posting 30.07 signs? I understand concealed carry in a church, but I don't see the point of open carry.

Just have the ushers or the pastor/rabbi/imam tell anyone open carrying to lose it. Why junk up all the entrances to your house of worship with 30.07 notices?

Our congregation is small, only about 40-50 regular attendees.... besides myself there is just one other CHL that i know of, neither of us will OC... CC is fine with us.... and as far as I know (father-in-law) is one of the elders, no plans to post either signs

Our congregation is very supportive of conceal carry but many have asked about keeping people from open carrying. We are not going to post signs at our church but a minister and/or our security team members will ask anyone who is open carrying to conceal. We are also going to have business size 30.07 cards printed for our security team and door greeters to hand to anyone who open carries. We are not going to make a big deal about it.

The picture of the church is nice. You have done a lot with the building you have. I hope you have a move of God.

I like the approach that was mentioned also. Giving out a business type of card asking OC to become CC or something of that nature. Not making a big deal out of it. Of course, it could still turn into a big deal, depends on the recipient of the card.

We are cc friendly with congregation regulars and members. OC not so much. no signs, just a visit from some folks to polity ask for the firearm to be left outside.

I really like this idea. I believe we are going to do something similar.

If anyone open carries at our church....we'll talk to them about the kind of gun it is, the ammo they use, who their gunsmith is, the virtues of 1911s over Glocks, etc..... :mrgreen:
