Consequences of Church Carry

[Bear44]

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.

The problem with this is that if someone carrying there got arrested for it, the church would either have to let them hang or lie about having given permission. Why don't they just give specific people permission and take it out of the grey area?

If I recall you can lose your carry permit.

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.

It's a rather large congregation.

If an employee of the church tells you to leave or calls the police, then you must leave. If you don’t leave, you can be criminally trespassed (then arrested if back on property or refuse to leave). To my understanding that’s as far as it’ll go. Georgia law allows you to carry inside of churches.

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.

When mine goes off,bang,bang,bang,they will think its god himself (or herself),and they will thank me for it! Come on people,only I know when I am carrying!(100% of the time).
