Quote by: Cephus just like before you're allowed to take a test for motorcycle licensing, you have to take a class. |
Wrong. You either take the test and get your license, or you take a class which exempts you from the test. AFAIK, a class isn't required in
any of the 50 states.

If church and its members permited weapons, how do you know that assault rifles would not be part of the arsenal? Are you going to dictate what is and what isn't a suitable weapon for self-defense? In fact, you have no way of knowing what kind of weapons the parishioners would choose to own.

It doesn't matter what a person would choose to
own, it matters what a person would choose to
carry on a daily basis. Something concealable and easy to handle is a far better choice and one that the millions of gun owners make every day.
Besides that, the owner of the private property could just as easily limit their parishoners to handguns, it's not practical to have a large weapon when you're trying to squeeze thousands of people into a single service

Other people around those who are armed usually do not know who is armed, and who isn't armed, because permits to carry require the firearms be concealed.

Yes, I absolutly agree, except the part about being required to carry concealed. Most states that offer CCW permits don't require concealment, they just allow you to carry concealed. The fact is, if you're getting a permit to carry concealed, there's really no reason not to do so. Some states, like Indiana, make no distinction between a permit to carry openly (which I oppose, there should be no permits required to carry openly) and concealed carry (which I also don't completely agree with, but my state constitution clearly states that my right to keep and bear arms doesn't include concealed carry).
