This Baptist pastor wants church goers to carry in church.

Probably a few people on this forum might carry when they attend church.

Yes. Yes I do. ;)
Back to being just a guy.
No, not that guy. Or that other one either.

Yes, me too! Apparently some states are a little more strict. If I'm not mistaken there is a man of the cloth on this forum that carries while doing his sermon.

I just thought it was neat that this pastor wants to make it official. Kind of like the mandate in S. Dakota.

carried whether i preached or not. always wore a suit or jacket and never worried about it showing. on the rare occasion i knew i would take off my coat, i went iwb and under my shirt.
with all the violence against Christian churches in the muslim world and the availability of media devices today, i will not be surprised when it occurs more often here in the USofA. it already has in KY, CO and TN. no prophecies, just an opinion.

I'm a Baptist pastor and I carry all the time at church. We also have a school that meets in our building and I have a permission slip signed by the principal that allows me to carry there during school.

Never been without in many years.


My father was a Baptist minister for 60 years. Almost always on the pulpit he carried.

Where's Pastor Paul's church? Does it allow all to conceal/carry as well?
1911 Fan quote in memoirium about carrying:
The purpose of a firearm in a defensive situation is to make the other guy leak from holes he was not born with. Your job is to install those orifices for him.
