I know there are several threads in which people are discussing the fact of being armed at church. I think this video and the news that accompanies it should reinforce the fact that you are not safe from criminals while attending church. Always be vigilent. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2MEjbBcs4ZA

I was told in situations where you are being forced to go somewhere else, you should resist and run teh risk of getting shot. Usually, things don't get better when they open the trunk.
Heck, mace or a knife would have made opening the trunk interesting.
I just did two lines of powdered wig powder, cranked up some Lee Greenwood, and recited the BoR. - Outlander Systems

I don't know if Texas has changed the CHL law but I remember you would be in violation if you carried in church when it first came out.

I'd rather have a violation and a ticket than be kidnapped, robbed, raped and murdered. Not that I'm advocating breaking all laws but there are some I could care less about and that would be one of them.Originally Posted by Artos
EDIT: I also think this is good information to show non-supportive church members who "feel" people shouldn't be armed while attending services, etc.

I hear ya...I just need to look into it. I've never carried into church because of it but I do know TX has modified some of the carry locations over the years.

"Concealed" means CONCEALED!!
These women were lucky that all this POS wanted was for them to withdraw cash. I hope they catch him.

My wife asked me once why I carry a gun. Maybe I should show her the video later when she gets home from work.

It's about "drawing a line" in what you will allow to happen to you. It's fortunate that both these women came out of this safe but generally, that's not often the outcome when someone takes you against your will.

Its leagal to carry concealed in the State of Texas inside a church unless they post effective notice under 30.06.

It seems a lot of pepole that attend church overlook some passages from the Bible. Most fit into the "God will protect me" and "turn the other cheek" crowd.
You have to bring up,
Luke 22:36
(King James Version)
Then said he unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one.
Now the sword or knife in those days seem to be the PDW of its time IMHO.
And another....
Luke11:21
New International Version
"When a strong man, fully armed, guards his own house, his possessions are safe
Ive delt witha few church members before on this issue and some of these helped "ease" the issue. Its a hard subject to deal with I hope this helps.
