Carry in Church?

[gnihcraes]

I know a person, who indicated that their church is heavily armed every sunday. They actually have a specific group of people armed, which changes each week. He indicated too that it was just not handguns. They also do drills and extensive training. Anyone that has served in the military or police are part of the "security team".

And I believe this person, not just a story.

Why? Not judging just curious. Credible threat?

Again, Matthew J Murray ... shot and killed several people at a YWAM office up in Arvada and then tried to shoot up New Life church with an AR the next day and was interrupted by an armed security volunteer that broke his stride and caused him to eat his own pistol.

I guess I should be more obvious about the link; CLICK HERE=>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2007_Co...Life_shootings


Of course there's also this.

I don't carry, because I Dont have a ccw... Yet.

But I do know that atleast 3 people carry! No one has an issue with that at our church!

I believe they started protecting themselves because of these situations. It did sound pretty cool though, military operation and training it sounded like. The church is local to the metro area (south) somewhere. I didn't ask.

With our current POTENTIAL terrorist and numerous other type threats, any more than a hand full of folks getting together at a Church, theater or even a house party has their safety in jeopardy from terrorists or gangbangers. Hell, just watch the local news.......IMHO

We started a shooting group at church. About fifteen of us that get together once a month and go to a free site to shoot whatever we bring. Plenty of sharing and fellowship. A few of us carry everywhere. The pastors know who we are and they condone our group activities by allowing us to put notices on the website, church calendar and in the bulletin.

The church has movie nights, knitting groups, and a beer brewing group. Why would shooting be any different?

Since I'm a godless heathen, not something I'll ever have to worry about. But if I did go, I'd carry.
