Church insurance companies are beginning to change their minds about concealed carry - in fact at least two of the largest in the country are now recommending armed security - hired or in house volunteer. I have personally attended a large church with such a team, and a security team member at New Life Church in Colorado Springs stopped a mass shooter in 2007. As a concealed carry and personal protection instructor, I have been asked to consult with several places of worship on their safety plans. One such church - which boasts thousands of attendees on a large, multi-building facility several times per week - sought me out after they had been told by their insurance company that their rates would go up if they did NOT have a safety plan in place that involved some type of armed security. Yes, you read that right. Their insurance company, a large outfit that deals almost exclusively with places of worship, had realized that having at least a few good guys with guns in the church was less of a liability risk that was having no plan at all. While I dont have permission to identify either the church or insurance company involved in the case I just mentioned, there is another insurance company which as chosen to publicize their rationale on church security on their website - and the companys name alone indicates that times are indeed a changin.
