I want to ask my Christian friends a question:
Just say you are attending a big Republican Christian conference with well-known people speaking in a major US City. The week before the event, you get an email telling you that when you are not actually in the event, you should not wear your credentials in the hotel or outside for security reasons. What would be your response?

I would comply with their request. They know the local security situation. IMHO, of course.
Why set yourself up as an out of town easy target?
:: Republican Christian conference ::
That term is an incongruency.
It makes no sense.
“What would be your response?”
To cancel the trip. And to ask the organizers why they would book a conference in a city that is so hostile to Christians and Republicans that you have to hunker down for your own safety.
No problemo!....................
What credentials?
I think the email was meant to help you (and maybe the venue) avoid harassment from activists. Or prevent criminals looking to pick-pocket, panhandle, or otherwise take advantage of obvious tourists/visitors.
Wear a MAGA hat.
P can I cast a vote for concealed carry?
is it in craphole chicago? if so, ask them why they wouldn’t book it in Orlando where EVERYONE is armed? :)
“I would comply with their request.”
Dittos. Seems like a smart reasonable thing to do. If concerned you can always bail out and not go. A lot may depend on which city it is and where the conference is located in the city.
CCW.
Event badge with the attendee’s name and affiliation is how I read that.
With Antifa being organized and funded like any other terrorist organization, I’m not sure that there IS any “safe” location in America for speakers that Antifa targets. And those who come to hear those speakers are potential collateral damage. That is not the fault of the organizers. When it comes to Charlie Kirk, he had the courage to go right into the lion’s den, metaphorically speaking. Unfortunately, with groups like Antifa around, it’s not just metaphorically speaking any more. This country is literally a lion’s den when the lions are funded, protected, and promoted by one whole side of the political spectrum.
Telll ‘em you will attach your credentials to your holster when you’re out and about
I used to go to four or five conferences every day.
I learned early that wearing your credentials made you a target in these cities. It really has nothing to do with your attending a “Christian” event, it applies to just about any type of conference.
It’s an indication that you probably have money on you, and you are not familiar with the area. That opens you up to robbery, and especially getting screwed on trips to and from the airport.
It applies even moreso for females traveling.
Every year…not every day. That would make me tired.
You should never wear your convention/confernce credentials outside the event. This has always been preached by convention managers. Your event has not been targeted as needing extra precaution.
Wearing the credentials makes you a target for pickpocket and mugging. They know you are a tourist.
Your credential badge has your name on it. Folks will call you by name and get friendly making you vulnerable to scam type crimes.
