While not pertinent to the discussion here, I will say, as I watched the crowd from my vantage point (I had my reasons), I did notice the officer was actively taking stock of each individual carrying a firearm, and as new folks arrived, he would work his way around to visually check them.  Not saying it was right or wrong, or otherwise, just what I witnessed.

Now pertinent to the discussion here, this is the conundrum we face with 1) being held to a different (high or low depends how you look at it) by purchasing our right to carry (concealed) back from the state.  CHP means this, but does it mean that if I OC?  2) OC being legal by way of the law of Liberty, it leaves much to be open to interpretation, BUT should we ask for clarification from the state,then it becomes "Allowed by law", "with certain restrictions" inevitably added by clause, that we no long hold Liberty in hand.  "Freedom" delegated to us by way of a governing body, is NOT the same as Liberty.

We speak the same language.   Same Tribal Dialect, actually.

I can see how open carrying into a church you're not know at could result in meeting with LEO. If you are a member, attend regularly, the pastor, the elders and most of the congregation knows you it it still going to be a problem?

If I was going to do it I'd talk to my pastor first.

And those cell phones in church should be off.

I have a cousin in Missouri who is always armed even in church during family weddings and funerals (the only times I eve see him). I know because he open carries. My guess would be that he has a concealed backup too. And probably a knife in his boot. When asked "Why do you carry a gun to a family gathering?" His answer will be "the first rule of a gun fight is have a gun".
