Suppose you carry your firearm into this church, Perimeter Church in Johns Creek.
You do not have permission from the church. mLet's assume NO private citizen (without law-enforcement or Public Safety credentials)
has ever been given permission to carry in this church.

But you carry anyway, figuring it's worth the legal risk.
What exactly *are* the risks of carrying your handgun into this church
when you do have a weapons carry permit
which is valid everywhere else in Georgia but not here in this building?

What kind of penalties and loss of rights would you be facing
if you were prosecuted?

P.S. I'll tell you up front, it's something of a trick question.
So if you're up to a challenge, see if you can figure out the trick and incorporate that into your answer.
 
I don't know why this is even a question. Used to be (late 1800s, 1900s) the circuit pastor would take off his guns, lay them over the pulpit and preach. His long gun would probably be leaning against the pulpit. Read a great article from Hillsdale College about bringing your guns to church and how we got to this mentality.
 
Assume a regular handgun, not some short barreled rifle, not an AR pistol with a brace, a 14 inch barrel, an optic, and a 30 round magazine.
Not a sub machine gun or select-fire pistol.
Nor a stolen gun. Not a gun with the serial number ground off.
