Let us prey...
I am all for the open carry inside the church.
However if all congregation bring plate carrier, msr, shotgun, it will kinda look like those weird cult type of church. [LOL]
Gotta' protect yourself from the rattlesnakes during the service.Quote:

In this day and age, it's a great way to draw unnecessary attention to yourself.
All easily avoidable if you carry concealed instead.

As far as legality, if a church is considered private property, and you have permission of the property owner (or responsible party, like a pastor/rabbi/priest), then open carry should be legal. Prudent is another matter entirely, for reasons already beaten to death above.
Our church security team would ask you to cover your firearm. We don't have a problem with CCW but open carry is discouraged. We've only had one person refuse to cover and they left so problem solved. If someone refused to cover and to leave we'd probably call the PD for trespass.
Open carry anywhere in the city of Denver is bad idea. Open carry in rest of metro area will get you more attention than you want.
If you're unarmed you are a victim
Are you implying you shouldn't match your belt and footwear to your holster. You sir, are a savage!Quote:

The same type of gunleather that would carry a fine looking BBQ gun.Quote:

For those that don't understand the reference;
Court guns and BBQ guns.
