That might be the one in Aurora that happened this spring? It was stopped after one person was killed by an off duty cop that was packing in church.Quote:

It's illegal to CC in churches in VA:
§18.2-283: To a place of worship while a meeting for religious purposes is being held at such place, without good and sufficient reason.
The VA Attorney General has written an opinion that "carrying a weapon for personal protection constitutes a good and sufficient reason". I found this on the Handgunlaw.us website. Here is the link to the letter: http://www.handgunlaw.us/documents/a...InChurches.pdfQuote:

Bad things happen in churches, too.
In Kansas, churches are listed as one of the places that are off-limits even with a carry license. More accurately, any place of worship.Quote:
