beatledog7,
You are never going to get a clear answer on a gun forum. Socially, his behavior absolutely should not be tolerated. I believe that what you have said so far indicates that you do not know the intentions of this individual at any given time. His actions could be benign or malevalent in the future and any further contact should be construed as a gun grab attempt. In some states, this is a murder in progress and lethal force may be justified. Your response should be clear and follow the law.
Contact your attorney and determine what the law says about his actions. I would think that this guy's actions would constitute some sort of misdemeanor crime. I would have the attorney write a letter to the church (and the contracting company he works for if the church uses one) explaining the legal liability to them and this guy. Furthermore, it should outline the physical acts you may legally take against this person should he deliberately place his hand on your holstered firearm again. If your attorney believes there is probable cause for a criminal complaint, then you should press charges. The time to stop this nonsense is now, not after it occurs again.
