Completely unrelated to the topic, but that church is huge. Is the congregation big enough to justify a building of that size?

Why do they need to justify the size of their building?

If they can afford it, let them build what they want.

NY, as usual, needs to update their FAQ's. From:

Frequently Asked Questions: New Concealed Carry Law

What are the places, under the new law, where I cannot bring a firearm, rifle, or shotgun?

• Places of worship except for those persons responsible for security at such place of worship;

 

[Defilade]

The U.S. District Court of Western New York ordered the payment in relation to the church's lawsuit over state laws that prohibit firearms in places of worship.

Oh I'm sorry. Where does the Government have a monopoly on what a person can carry or not? Who they fuck are they? It's not their establishment. They are treading on something they don't own or have a say in period!

You are taking it the wrong way. They of course do not need to justify anything, like you said its their building they can do what they want. I was just curious if the congregation is actually big enough that they need a building that big. Non denominational christian churches in my area are typically a couple thousand square foot at best with members in the dozens (maybe). I have never seen anything that big except in the south.

I`ve been inside of this place. There are many rooms built within the whole building. And no, there aren`t that many members of this church.

This is what needs to change. If these morons pass a law they know if unconstitutional and very blatantly so they should be held personally liable for the cost of all lawsuits associated with it. They should pay back the church and the tax payers for both lawsuits.

And an $800,000 legal bill. I know my church is fairly large but could not support this financially.

Personally, i think these fukkers should be paying it back out of their own pockets and NOT from OUR tax revenue.

That’s what I said. They should pay back both the church and tax payers.
