    YOU think dressing in drag at a funeral in poor taste. Whether I agree with you or not isn't the issue.

    somethings you just know without having to be told. Its not "feelings" its called "judgement"

    No common sense around here. Getting political correct about how YOU and ME feel.
    Why go to church in the first place if your soul purpose is to show off with your right to OC and not to worship.
    God doesn't need your protection, you should go there and ask Him for yours.
    Oh Jesus, come, so we don't have to deal with this world anymore. Are you ready to meet Him or you need to go to a OC MEETUP

    I think the difference between oc and cc to me is if my shirt tail is in or out. Otherwise, I will always carry if possible.

    A suit jacket means I'm always concealed in church.

    Nothing has been discussed. I don't think the vestry is even aware. Doubtful it will be an issue, but knowing the area they would probably be asked to leave.

    On a personal basis, with the number of church shootings a few years back and general home grown terrorist concerns I'd proffer OCing into a church would be an incredibly bad and dangerous idea.

    Well, until 1 Jan 2016 it will, as it is illegal until then; but given that OC isn't legal yet what do you base that on? I haven't seen a single 30.07 sign yet...

    Because mall management will have the rent a cops escort you out the moment someone complains. The next day there will be a 30.07 and maybe a 30.06 sign up.

    I have this image of someone trying to OC in River Oaks or a mall in Memorial. Yea thats not going to go well.

    But this is all OT and my apology for dragging the thread off course.

    Can someone compile a spreadsheet of places I should not open carry because it might hurt someone's feelings?

    An if then for your excel sheet.
    Are you open carrying?
    if yes, are you in a field surrounded by trees?
    if no, are you south of San Antonio?
    if no, fashion feau paux!

    Exactly.

    I carry concealed in church. I think the answer will be evident. If the church feels uncomfortable they will request a resolution. If requested to conceal or leave then we must comply. If we choose not to comply and attempt to impose our "rights" then our respected government will help us resolve the issue. There are a lot of folks with "rights".

    Again, pure speculation on anyone's part. Since OC hasn't become legal yet, no one can say for sure that any of that will happen.

    If they were arrested without reason then they should sue the arresting officer for violating their rights. Get over it people. Learn the law and live within it. In the mean time join me to push for Constutional Carry.
