Does anybody carry while at church?

[Guest GLOCKGUY]

i dont carry in church its against the law here it stays in my car until after church

[Guest TNDixieGirl]

I took it to mean a boundary, or line of sorts, that allows carry where it isn't otherwise allowed.

Its against the law where? Yes the wife and I both carry in church.

[Marswolf]

Church carry is illegal in Virginia, but not in Tennessee unless the church is posted.

[Guest jackdog]

Well of course I do, as should everyone. Our pastor was kidding with me once and asked if I felt naked without my gun. I just smiled at him. He said well I don't mind and I'm pretty sure god won't mind either.

[Guest tjbert47]

YES !!

Tom in TN

[The Rabbi]

This is a prayer that allows you to do things that normally you couldn't right?

Wow, I wish!

No, it is a physical structure that surrounds an area, making it "enclosed" so it becomes sort of like the inside of your house.

[Guest sermon8r]

The bible cover I have has a very handy concealment pocket.

do you have a link for it?

sounds interesting

[Guest sermon8r]

Sometimes in the pulpit too

[saintsfanbrian]

Sorry Rabbi - I guess I thought that "is a symbolic boundary that allows" meant that it wasn't a physical structure.

Where is here?...

[Guest 270win]

Yes, because it is irresponsible to leave a firearm unattended in my car.

[Rightwinger]

Yes.....the 642 was inspired by the sermon just this Sunday!

[Guest GLOCKGUY]

Where is here?...

Dayton Tn and i was told that Tn law is you can not carry in a church in Tn am i wrong

[Guest TNDixieGirl]

I've never heard that was the law. I could be wrong, but I believe it's not illegal unless the church is posted.

[Guest GLOCKGUY]

I've never heard that was the law. I could be wrong, but I believe it's not illegal unless the church is posted.

ya you guys mite be right im looking it up now

[Im Neero]

There is no law prohibiting the carrying of a weapon in a church in TN. If they are posted, you can't carry, and if they are also a school, you can't carry, but that is about it.

[Guest GLOCKGUY]

i stand corrected you can carry in church in TN this is what i love about the Internet you learn something new every day and i will be carrying in church this Sunday

[Guest GLOCKGUY]

me and my wife are now wondering just who in are church is carrying ill be try to see if there is any printing go on this Sunday

[Guest Boomhower]

I guess I thought that "is a symbolic boundary that allows" meant that it wasn't a physical structure.

That's the way I understood it as well. Symbolic could be anything you want to invision. So one could just invision a wall!

Here's an interesting read for anyone....well....interested in this eiruv

Rabbi, could your community not establish an eiruv? And this isn't just about firearms, is it?

[Guest Boomhower]

My pastor once said (in the pulpit) that he felt it was a duty as a christian to own a firearm for self defense. He never elaborated as to what type of self defense, home or personal. I couldn't help from giving him an "AMEN"!

[Im Neero]

Are you seriously trying to give The Rabbi advice on how to be a Jew?

:eek:

[The Rabbi]

There actually is one at the other synagogue in town.

They tend to be expensive and difficult to put up and honestly around our place there aren't enough folks who care about it to warrant the effort and expense. We're still trying to get people not to drive.

[Guest Boomhower]

We're still trying to get people not to drive.

:lol:.....as everything modernizes, good luck.

[robbiev]

I carry my gun, period. The "place" is absolutely irrelevant to me, and is not even a consideration. Many people tend to think of self defense as "is it ok for me to carry here?" I think of self defense as "I'm going to have my gun in case I need it."
