Sorry, thank you for spell checking me. So everyone in your church is locked and loaded? I hope no one ever shoots a visitor who looks suspicious. While he is reaching in his jacket for his wallet to give an offering.

You just told me that you grew up in church. You went on to say that no one has ever been shot in any of the churches you have been in. So, this would indicate that your paranoia and fear is unfounded.

Down here you can get shot, stabbed, or your jaw broken.

You know, I'm sorry. I should of left that up to a professional like you. Who is well versed in talking out of his backside frequently. The mistake is all mine. Please forgive. I just hope you don't clear your throat around anyone near you.

Then in your logic you aren't preparing. If we who are living for Jesus Christ in this country are now being hunted in our own churches. Then you and your folks should lock your doors. Or at least have metal detectors.

By your logic just in case they start shooting up the place?

It worked for everyone here. Maybe you aren't a funny guy. Maybe you are a real drag. Maybe you are one of those serious types always ready to spring into action? At the ready to go for your KG-99 when someone starts shouting their hair down in the back row? Or do they do that in your church services? I mean, shout, not shoot.

Red herring. But, you are the weak one. I made it this long without having to use violence (and I have been in some interesting situations) I trust Jesus will keep me, my family, church family, and friends, from harm. In the garden of Gethsemane? You would of cut the soldier's head off.
But it's like this, no one in your church congregation is prepared if someone[s] opens fire. Your people aren't trained, even if they are military, or law enforcement. You have a congregation filled with a mix group, women, children, visitors. God forbid something went down. I think most of the people who believe they are being prepared by being "armed" with loaded weapons in the church. thinking they will just shoot the assailants, isn't that simple. It's like public schools arming teachers to ward off would be school shooters. While everyone thinks arming the congregants with guns is a solution in theory. It might not end well in real time. the truth is (I'm not trying to be funny) you guys might end up shooting everyone but the shooter. In your confusion and panic.
But as you have stated no one as long as you been in church has ever been shot. So this discussion is a big what if. So, you and I will pray in Jesus name that no one in our churches will ever been shot.
