I pastor in Irving so just load up and come on over. Until I got to the point that my health wouldn’t allow me to baptize and my assistant took over I pocked carried under the waders.

I realize how hard it can be to leave a church one has established a connection with. I'm not a church goer but my Mom is an avid church goer and she has established many social friendships at the church. I can't imagine her just deciding she would switch. But just the same, a situation like this might cause me to make a switch. Me and my family safety means a lot to me. I am with the fellers who say switch churches.

Our church (Baptist) asks us to conceal but we have no signs. If any signs go up I’m gone.

Since he was a sergeant-major this does not surprise me a bit. I found that generally the higher in rank, officer or enlisted, the less likely they were to trust the lower ranks, or in this case the average person.

I suppose this might apply to LEOs also as the rank and file that I've had the occasion to talk to seem fine with carry.

Pretty much this. My own church is generally accepting of members carrying, but they do have 30.07 signs posted. I can live with that, and have done so since 30.07 first passed. If they posted 30.06 as well, I’d move on.
