Many churches have a don’t ask don’t tell approach. That point of view emerged when I discussed armed and “trained” security with the business manager a +/-1000 member church I previously attended. His bugaboo? Liability (and insurance coverage) and it’s consequences for the church. That even included armed Deputy Sheriffs according to him. At the time I was the only security. I circulated the parking lot and children’s areas primarily and know of one definite group of suspicious characters that drove by me full of stares and didn’t even park. That one time alone rewarded me.

My discussion with the church staffer followed this event. He knew I was armed without me saying but never addressed the subject. Others in the church did too and appreciation was given on several occasions. Strangely no one else volunteered to help.
