Attempt to get inside the mind of a person who has made the choice to be deliberately unarmed. There are quite a few of them, though they are a minority.
Once a person makes that choice, the idea that another person is armed can be an affront. They do not want to be reminded that a different choice might be considered rational.
They want everyone to be unarmed, because they do not want anyone to be more powerful than they, and they decided to be unarmed.
Thus, they work to create "gun free" zones to make it legally difficult for most people to be armed.
They can bask in the knowledge that only bad people choose to arm themselves, because otherwise, they are law-breakers.
They usually exempt government authority figures, such as police and military. They openly, or secretly, despise the police and mililtary as people who are willing to soil themselves with personal violence.
They expect the government authority figures to protect them, and always be under their control.
Of course, you also have the power seekers who want everyone else to be unarmed... except for themselves.
Man, God was on the clock with this.
Thank you, God.
Nearly all your suggestions at my Church.
Quite a few open and concealed carriers.
Security detail of several at every service. All linked by radio.
Most, but not all, carry.
What is 'tactical style clothing'? Bulletproof vest, helmet and mask like the cops like to wear these days when they go to someone's house to shoot a dog?
Either you ain't from around these parts, boy, or you do your church-going with Unitarian types.
No, and no. If you don't want someone to carry at your church, you need to post the two signs - at each entrance. Or verbally tell the person to leave.

I’m sure the church like most churches are gun free zones.

Right, like they’re lots of those liberal gay flag at church types here...yeah, that must be it.
Uniformed cops outside. Obvious plain clothed cops inside and patroling the halls. Other plain clothed cops that blend in. Private security. Some folks that carry on their own.
I went to church this morning with a handgun (mounted laser too) and extra ammunition, and nobody arrested me. Or the other 10 people at my church who were carrying. Of course, we come to protect, not to harm.
Yep! That says it all! “Dang, now what do we do?” LOL!
is this not having permission? Yes and yes
Could you tell me who this guy killed? You called him a murderer twice.
No.
I refer to the character of a murderer. That character is not believable.
