CCW in church?

[FN1910]

In SC guns in churches are banned without permsiision of the board or whoever is in charge. Personally I like this as it basically it means that only the board of the church could have you arrested therefore you find out your standing in the church and whether you need to find a different one. For example you carry your gun to church and somethin happens. If the police try to arrest you for it the Preacher just says he has permission and you can't be arrested. However someoone has a gun and starts trouble the Preacher can have hims arrested. I think this way the law shows respect for the church and the private property of the church.

I agree with you that is the way it should be let the individual church board decide, they should make decisions on what is allowed on their property, not some legislator making a blanket law forcing all churches to be "victim zones". Even a pastor who has had death theats isn't allowed to have a firearm to defend himself in many states when in his office because it is on church property.

My pastor received weekly threats by phone years ago after protesting at "gay marriage ceremony" held in a public area of the local university. It was a mock ceremony and after it one of the two women left and moved to another state.
