We were explicitly counseled to keep this within the auxiliary (RS in this case) presidency.  The only reason I can think of for this is to keep the masses from panicking over the thought of an active shooter at church.  Also, they expect leaders to take charge in such situations.

Or people looking for loopholes or getting very legalistic in intrepretation, or going around the leadership.

I am very pro-gun, but I'd like to see statistics where displaying the holstered weapon actually deterred a violent assailant. In fact, I'd like to see just one report from a verified source that indicated displaying the holstered weapon deterred an assailant.  That may look fun in a movie.  But IRL...

I've taken three classes on concealed carry/active shooter situations.  NONE advise you simply display the weapon in your holster.  It should ALWAYS remain hidden in public until the moment you're ready to use it.

 

 

 

Knowledge is power. Deny it to potential enemies. Including paranoid drama folks.

I find that counsel odd. How can the members appropriately follow church counsel if they don't know what church counsel is?

that is what the line of authority is for, which also allows a little room for inspiration and adjustment to the current situation if it is necessary.
