It’s too bad that the pastor didn’t conceal carry and give the thug a “double tap” during the earlier attempted robbery. Baby Antonio would be alive today if that had happened.
Yes, I agree. For many reasons, churches need higher security today. And because of their unique status, they need not be “gun free zones.”
Churches all over America are quietly arming themselves. We had a blurb in our bulletin a few weeks back asking for people with military or law enforcement experience to volunteer with our church security. These guys roam our halls at all hours, and to those who don’t know, they look just like congregants doing their church business.
I also have personal knowledge about another youth pastor who has been asked to train and apply for a CCW license.
Its been said many times that one act of self defense that kills the criminal reduces the crime rate.
