IMO, this law gives the church power to legally disarm unstable or "questionable" people while ignoring people who legally and responsibly CC.
If you want to responsibly CC at church then knock yourself out. It's 100% a "victimless crime".
Please be careful about publicly admitting on this or any other forum about violations of law! Many a convict has been convicted because he couldn't or wouldn't keep his big mouth shut about the deeds!

IOW Don't ask. Don't tell.

That is that the Prophet of the LDS Church and the Apostles do have armed bodyguards - even when they are in a church building. As with other issues in society it vexes me as it feels like an us vs them issue where they can thwart the law but we little people are of no consequence and cannot. ....
