    Default Act 235

    I have a ccw, would I also need act 235 certificate to carry in church for security reasons?. What if I needed to use my weapon to protect the pastor from an intruder. I don't take a salary for carry concealed,we are just putting together a security program.

    When I got my Act 235 there was a guy there who was going to do church security. IANAL but I think you are on the line of needing your 235. If you were just a church goer and used your firearm to protect yourself or any other church member you are ok. Now you are talking a security program is the church going to insure you and the boys? I think you need to consult the church insurance rep. and a lawyer.

    To save the church some liability risks it would probably be better that there ISN'T a security detachment. ..having such, the church then gains some liability.

    Just show up to church for services with your carry piece.
