Why not, if they have a CCW? Although there may be a law in Texas that allows guns to be banned or even forbids guns in churches. Not sure.

I am sympathetic to the notion that a house of worship should be a sanctuary free from weapons. Although these days, that appears merely an aspiration.

Good evening.

“Although these days, that appears merely an aspiration.”

You may know that I post with my real name.

I have posted this before...

Many churches in the St. Petersburg diocese have people who are armed. Parishioners who have CCW, LEOs and others.

The diocese will not condon bringing firearms into the church.

But the Bishop will not know anything about it...

I would say that it should be up the owners (i.e. congregation) of a house of worship to determine whether or not it is free of weapons. This should not be a decision the government should make.
