I know GA law says no CC in church, but does that mean only during worship services or other times people are gathered, or does that mean anytime? If a Pastor is a CCW permit holder, can he carry during the week in the office when no one but the staff is there?
(d) Subsection (b) of this Code section shall not apply:
(3) To a weapon or long gun possessed by a license holder which is under the possessor's control in a motor vehicle or is in a locked compartment of a motor vehicle or one which is in a locked container in or a locked firearms rack which is on a motor vehicle and such vehicle is parked in a parking facility.

Move to florida, 3 of our staff members carry and we have a group of men that specifically volunteer to be sitting on the front row carrying in case someone loses their mind
I know this is about GA, but here in louisiana, Jindal (Gov), recently passed a law that allows carry in church, but it's up to the head clergy. That's how it is laid out in the bill. You can carry if the head clergy (preacher, priest, rabbi etc) allows the CC. I attend a Methodist church, and the week after this bill was passed, our bishop released a statement about this law and said some really borderline ignorant/naive things. In fact, he actually said he was more comfortable with a criminal busting into the church with a gun than a pistol packing preacher. I had to read it three times to believe someone would actually say such a thing. I have yet to respond to him about his statement because it still angers me that this was said. So, our preacher was definitely against CC in our church. Times are tough, and another church just down the road had their Sunday collection taken at knifepoint three sundays ago. So I do feel completely naked not carrying in church, and just hope nothing bad happens.

Scott, i just moved to GA from FL. TUTS (I meant to say), I NEVER sit in a restaurant with my back to the door. My wife teases me about it. I don't want to break the law, but I disagree with the law that prohibits CC in church. When I was in FL, I ALWAYS encouraged/urged my CCW members to CC in church! Bruce, thanks for the quote and links.
