i cant remember when exactly it was, but there was a rash of Church shootings a few years ago that made us decide we need to protect our congregation (i replied to your PM with a little more info on our church)
hurdle number two, was never there for us, i honestly believe on any given day, you will not find a more heavily armed group of citizens in our lil town the our church
"funny" story about our church, my wife was sharing the Gospel with a couple a while ago and asked them if they had a home Church
when they said no, she suggested they visit our Church and the couple just kinda looked at each other in silence
so my wife asked what was the matter?
and they said, they had heard of our Church, and that everyone carries there
my wife said, well, not everyone, but probably half of the guys do
then they asked if her husband carried, and she said yes
they just couldnt believe it
we never did see them at Church
have you seen footage of the White Settlement shooting?
10 seconds and the whole thing was over
there are people out there with more knowledge then me, who disected the video and made some interesting remarks
one of the men who died that day was part of the security team and drew on the shooter after the shooter had opened fire, the shooter shot him before he could get his weapon aimed
a little further away was a second member of the team who was extremely skilled, and properly trained and shot the shooter to end the threat
