As a reminder, you can carry in an LDS House of Worship if you get written permission from the building supervisor. Unfortunately this has become a requirement thanks to the church assisting in creating this insane law. I despise it myself, I too, am LDS and it is an outrage that we are required to be potential victims by this disconcerting affront to moral turpitude.
On another note, only LDS churches in Utah have this requirement, my brother in Texas has no trouble carrying in church.
I would be very pleased to see the unoffending, law abiding citizen able to carry in churches, schools, work places etc, just so that there would be someone available with a weapon, should someone choose to violate other citizens rights by assaulting them with illegal weapons, or with intent to kill indiscriminately as we have seen occur too much of late. At least the law abiding would have a chance then.

In 2007 notice was finally posted in March. I had been checking since January and it took that long before it was finally "Posted" on BCI. BCI informed me at the time that they posted the letter immediately after receiving it.
As for a building supervisor, in any situation where there are more than one Ward meeting in a building there is a supervisor in charge of activities & functions performed at the building. Finding out whom this is and getting a formal letter stating it is ok for you to carry could be as simple as a question to the Bishop. I would tend to think though, that these supervisors are either not up on the law, fearful of causing a stir, or would be unsure about their ability to have a letterhead letter written authorizing an individual the free exercise of their right to carry upon the grounds of the church.
Personally I still feel this law defies the 13 Articles of Faith as well as doctrine of the church since the beginning. I obey it simply because I am a lawful person. But when I do I am only able to hope that no one of evil intent will do anything untoward while I am attending my religious meetings or funtions.

Just remember, there was no public notice from Jan. 1st 2007 until March 13th (if my memory is correct) on the BCI Website. No notice was given under any other venue during this time, which means that the law was in violation for at least 3 months, as notification must occur the first meeting of January or through BCI at the same time. A call to BCI from the Church does not constitute obedience to the law, a letter must be received by them & posted immediately to keep everyone informed (if they are aware of this statute- and also know where to reach BCI or their website--new citizens & visitors may be unaware of this).
The unfortunate issue is that no date of notification is listed on BCI--statute is not in obedience by any entity until the notice is received & posted, yet BCI still refuses to update their website to incorporate this very pertinent information so that the public may know without a doubt as to whether they would, or would not be in compliance themselves.
There is still much to be smoothed out concerning this law and proper obedience to it--so far we, who are concealed weapons holders seem to be the only ones who try to be in compliance. Suffice it to say, the first 3 months of 2007 we could have legally carried in LDS churches had we been so disposed as compliance had not been met.
My information is directly from the contact I had at BCI during this time frame. His name was listed on an earlier post & escapes me now.--Sorry.
