Just out of curiosity, why is the concern regarding ammo for use in a church any different than in any other public venue?

The building is going to be filled with screaming, panicked people, elderly, infirm, young, etc., all of them intent on getting out of range of a shooter.
You could say the same of a school, theatre, mall or any other public venue.

Wanna-be mass shooters tend to target places known as "gun free zones" as they are less likely to be confronted by someone who can shoot back.
Signs at the entrance of the sanctuary indicating that members of the congregation are trained and armed might work as a deterrent, making it less likely that a shooter would enter.

Posting armed security people in the parking lot area would also lessen the chances of an armed intruder entering the building.
