In my church last weekend one of the ushers was carrying an unconcealed handgun. Never saw that before.

As Christian churches come increasingly under attack, we can expect to see more good guys carrying guns during worship services.

[who knows what evil?]

A pastor based in Knoxville TN I used to listen to on-line made it QUITE CLEAR he was packing (and urged his congregation to do so), and another pastor I currently listen to also has firearms at the ready in his pulpit. Both stated that they were ‘good shots’.

Unfortunately we are still UMC. They hate guns.

Being in the south we have LOTS of parishioners carrying guns concealed with enhanced CCW licenses. Trouble is that the ARMED cops that are there don't know who is carrying and if an incident happened, could shoot an innocent.

Even the cops told the church...we need armed congregants in the church while we man the perimeter. We want the armed church members to sit in seats next to doors and establish room dominance positions...that way we can know where they are.
