At Mass this morning I found myself doing recommended #2 and saw two canes available as weapons. I also spent about 1 minute reviewing what I would do if some wacko showed up and tried to either harm our wonderful priest or go after the tabernacle or any of the consecrated bread and wine. I knew I would go forward and call on my fellow parishioners to follow. Then I went back to focusing on my Lord and Savior.
Good for you! The Lord just may have been talking to you.
As I sat down in church this morning I felt the butt of my Sig Sauer P320 9mm Compact gently thump against the back of the pew. At the same time I was also aware of the spare 17 round magazine (from the full size P320 that fits the compact, too) pressing on the small cargo pocket designed for such supplies on the front of my left thigh. I carefully looked around for strangers that represented a potential threat and seeing none, I began speaking to my Lord and Savior in earnest prayer.
It’s an open secret that our church has an armed security team in place every Sunday.
