[QUOTE="Poke78, post: 1908157, member: 4333"] Case law has no bearing on this. Who is this "we" you speak of when referring to limiting OC in a church? If "we" means some group or person with authority over the use of the building, then the answer is "Yes" because nothing in the law concerning the authority of property "owners" to control the use of their property, no matter if it is open to the public for a specific purpose, i.e. commerce, worship, etc. The same laws concerning trespass continue to apply. It really isn't that hard. Don't overthink this by seeking out something special about churches. People are just as likely to hyperventilate over OC at the mall, grocery store, or walking down the street as they are about church. Your observation about "out of sight, out of mind" is right on the mark and is probably the best point for those who advocate against OC. Plenty of people, on this board and elsewhere, have carried to church without incident and have a pretty good understanding about the old saying on "discretion being the better part of valor".
