Anybody notice the no-gun provision in places of worship.

So foolish. After 9/11, a group of Christians is MOST LIKELY TO BE ATTACKED in a church. Terrorists go for the largest impact, the biggest kill, this would be the sabbath gatering for most.

Denying CCW in churches is the biggest slap in here.

Colonial Virginia, as well as several New England colonies, REQUIRED people to take their guns to church. As someone has put it, America was founded by religious nuts with guns.

Texas started out with that provision... until some clergymen complained. Some of them basically couldn't carry while en route from home to "office", since the "office" was in the church, and the home was on church grounds. Now it's up to the church to decide if they want to allow concealed carry in their building(s) or not.

Also makes things very inconvenient. Lots of Catholics like to stop off at church on the way to work, say a quick prayer, maybe light a candle. If you need to carry because of the neighborhoods you pass getting to work, it makes things complicated.

It's the same deal with most of those other "prohibited" places. If you're carrying and would want/need to stop off there, you legally can't
