Highly ironic since in many states, CCW permit holders aren’t allowed to carry on church grounds.

I have a feeling that a lot of people are going to see these attacks as a fine and justified reason to ignore those immoral disarmament laws.

Concealed means concealed.

Do you happen to know if any or all of those states allow individual churches to explicitly permit carrying on their grounds? Seems to me there would be a serious infringement on religious freedom if the state prohibited a church from allowing people to do on its grounds what they are allowed to do in most other locations. I can't imagine a challenge to such a no-opt-out prohibition would survive in court. Maybe a requirement to post prominently that the church DOES allow carry, since the state law would cause visitors to assume otherwise in the absence of such notice, but not an outright prohibition.
