Consequences of Church Carry

[Bear44]

they have them on the doors where my wife an daughters go . I guess they are hammering the point home a bit.

Do you carry at your church ?

I don't go to church.

 

[Bear44]

What if God gives you permission?

It better be in writing.

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.

You couldn’t be prosecuted because you wouldn’t be arrested, only fined no more than $100.

Being fined IS a prosecution.

In this thread, lawyerauthorbookwriteyguy withholds information in an attempt to show how much he knows about the lawz and stuffs.

The answer has already been given. Don't go to that church.

In this thread, at the time you write that, there are parts of the correct answer scattered among the wring anwers and nonresponsive replies and general idiocy.
Your don't know what posts have the components of a correct answer, do you ?
Of course not.
You just say "don't go to thst church."
Which is ridiculous, unless you are seriously advocating that you (me, any GWL holder) commit to never going to 99.9% of the churches in Georgia (assuming about 1 out of 1000 has opted-in to allow GWL holders to carry).

And when I say "never go to" those other 999/1000 churches, I mean NEVER.
Not just to worship on a Sunday.

Don't go there to vote, if that's your local polling place each election year.
Don't go there forca 5K run / walk for charity.
Don't meet the bloodmobile there.
Don't meet the health-screening RV to get your blood pressure checked or have a screening of your blood.
Don't go to any of those schools to repair their A/C if you're in the HVAC business.
Don't go there to teach a martial arts class or give a demonstration of your karate skills.
Don't go there just for the Easter egg hunt, the Christmas musical, or to drop off a bag of groceries for the "Can Hunger" campaign in your community.

Being fined IS a prosecution.

Is it?

 

[C'mon man!]

Stay at home and send your money to joel olsteen,he needs your money badly.

Not denying anything, I don't follow him, but he no longer accepts a salary from the church.

We have a Security Team at my church. At any given time atleast 6-8 members are carrying concealed and watching every entrance to the Church. Plus there is a suppressed 300 Blackout up in the balcony watching over everything/everyone. Good Camera system being monitored during service and The Pastor has a safe word the whole congregation knows which means “Hit the ground, stay quiet, and dont move or raise up for any reason”. We have about 400 people in our Morning service. I feel very safe while worshiping and take great pride in having helped setup the team.

Our church uses the dont ask dont tell policy. They know lots of people carry but dont say anything. If you open carry you will meet the under covers and be escorted out. Not sure about whether or not they would pursue it beyond that. I asked some of the staff, and was told that it has more to do with people reactions to it more than the way they feel. Might depend more on your reaction to them confronting you.
