The LDS church's position on the concealed carrying of weapons is confusing to me. On the one hand, you have the church fulfilling all the legal requirements to restrict carry here in Utah, but doing nothing to restrict it in other states. While they may not legally be able to restrict it in some places, is it not feasible that if the church were truly concerned about this that they would have sent letters to be read at the pulpit requestign members do not, even though the church cannot legally restrict it?
Since they haven't had such a letter read nationwide regardless of legal parameters for carry in those states, I am left wondering why they did this in Utah. Were they perhaps catering to many members in alarm that while other churches were subscribing to this restriction, the LDS church was not? Was this a PR move and nothing more? Again, if they were really serious about restricting carry, why only in Utah?
