Exactly. How many people would have died without an armed police officer at the “draw Mohammad” seminar in Texas?
Although, it isn’t clear if some of the participants were armed too. It is Texas after all. I bet that all future like events will have at least one armed person. Maybe everyone.
The point is that the quickest solution to this kind of violence is to make sure that someone (police, civilian) is armed. Why? Because the government will never be able to control the random acts of violence. And the police cannot be everywhere all of the time.
My church has armed security for all services—has had for years. All are expertly trained, all authorized for concealed carry and most are current or former law enforcement.
Our founding pastor said the church received threats years ago and he decided not to take any chances. I feel very secure worshipping there; between the Lord and our security team, we’re ready.
