AlwaysQuilting - my first husband was a police officer and many times had to wear his weapon in church. The only other option was to lock it in the car or his bike, neither of which was safe. He talked to our pastor about it, and was told that God understood. One of the pastors at our community sunrise services is an Officer as well, he is frequently in full uniform (he is a police chaplain, too.) I don't know that I would carry a random weapon in church, but as part of a uniform, I think that is a different matter.
