I am well armed and highly trained. Most folks in my red county are armed.
I too say the same prayers.
Many take what we say and misconstrue it. There is a great divide between mindless bluster, and being prepared for an event that one hopes and prays will NEVER happen.
I have carried a firearm with me almost everyday for the past 32 years. I have never had to use it, I am grateful that is the case, and I pray that I never do have to use it... but if needed it will be put into action. I am prepared.
