In TX we can legally carry in church with the pastor's permission. About every six months our pastor announces from the pulpit, "If you're licensed to carry a gun, you're welcome to carry here. I do."
Carry all the time.

Carry everywhere.
My wife came into my office as I was packing my gun case for our trip to Arizona. She asked - "why are you taking that?"
I told her - "We're going to Arizona... not heaven"

CCW in Ohio churches requires permission, LEO's and LEOSA don't need to ask. At my church there are several licensed to carry but only 2 have permission. My best friend and I.
The shooting up of Churches got so bad in Kentucky in the 80's that all ordained ministers were issued CCW permits. My B-I-L was a little ahead of the law on this.
His preferred concealed gun is still a SP101 in 357! He preaches the Gospel and carries for 40+ years now!
When my daughter and youngest son got married it was in NJ, so I wasn't carrying! My F-I-L and his wife are both LEOSA so they covered us. But when #2 son was married in Ohio, I carried my faithful 49 (no dash). When my F-I-L walked my bride down the isle, he had a nice shinny nickel pre 49 "Bodyguard" tucked in his cummerbund. There were 17 LEO's including the Chief there, we were very well protected! As you can see "Humpbacks" are a family tradition!

I carry everywhere I go either on my person or in the SUVs. I do not carry in the house. Any room my wife or I am in, there is a gun within 2 to 3 feet. We are both retired LEOs. Also, it's a good way to justify buying more guns.

My wife and I were at our weekly ballroom dance class today. About half way through, the instructor is in front of the class telling us how to perform a new move, when one of his assistants walked up to him and whispered something in his ear. He stooped down and pulled his pant leg back down over the ankle holster he was wearing. I asked my wife if she saw that. She did, but didn't realize what she was seeing. I explained to her that his ankle holster had become exposed. Slightly embarrassed, he says - "Some of you may think I'm a cop and the others may think I'm planning to rob some place. I'd rather you believe the first one".
I was smiling inside because, as it turns out, I had just today been wondering if I should leave my edc at home because of all the contact in the class, and the instructor sometime has us dance with OTHER students in the class. I decided to stick to my principle of carrying everywhere I'm allowed, and it's comforting to know that I'm not the only one there who thinks that way.

If I have my pants on I have a pistol and extra magazine on my belt .. only place I don't carry is my doctors office which is posted ..
There have been several home invasions in the area in the past 2 years .. one where the elder gentleman in the home was killed ..
If posted in Illinois it is the law so I won't frequent any place that would inhibit my carrying .. those places have become much fewer as close to 17-18% of the people in the Tri-county area I live in have Conceal Carry Permits .. businesses realized quickly that keeping that amount of the population out of their business wasn't monetarily profitable to their stores .. and many took down the signs as they saw customers walk to their door see the sign and turn and walk away ..

Legal has a lot of different definitions depending upon the jurisdiction and the circumstances.
Some jurisdictions it is a felony to carry in certain places, that sets up a heavy cost-benefit-anaysis situation.
Other jurisdictions if the property is posted 'no guns' and you carry, and the owner/manager somehow "magically" devines that you are carring, you must leave immediatley or else be cited for trespass. No brainer, carry.
Some jurisdictions you can be cited for trespass without future warning, its an ordinance violation the same as a traffic ticket, its your call. I do, nobody will know unless I am forced to use it.
And then nobody will care because they will be alive while Charlie Manson, prison escapee, lies bleeding out on the carpet.

Youse buys yer ticket, and youse takes yer chances.
Just saying you have options 1. Its a muny code violation so you leave your edc locked in the car safe. The Manson family crashes your grandaughters christening...
2. You disregarded the sign and drop someone with a butchers knife, prosecutor would be hard pressed to ask why you were armed.
3. You don't make certain of your target and what is near it and you shoot Sister Mary Margarett. Well, you are done anyway...
Morals: Don't guess, be certain of your target, be cool under pressure, hit what you aim at...

I've met some nun's who were way scarier and crazier than the Manson family. I would have gladly traded my sixth grade nun for Charlie Manson, Charlie seemed a lot saner.

It is better to have it and not need it, than to need it and not have it.
Those signs on Post Offices, Banks and others I totally ignore.

I carry all the time with the exception of Post Office, courts, and federal property (the Naval Hospital).

Do they have signs on the doors that say "no guns"?

Yeah, since all this social unrest..........
I carry heavy all the time. I used to carry a cute lit'l nickel 3" 37 to church.
But, for the last several years I gone back to a service pistol,
read that as a Colt Commander 45 ACP with Winchester Ranger 230 +Ps
with an extra magazine er two.

Really how stupid is that. Their lame in the brain. When did a rule, sign, or law ever stop a Criminal ? It just blows my mind. They simply do not care about the average citizen.
