It depends. Sometimes, a “victim” was doing something mind-blowingly stupid with an obviously high risk of serious harm, like that banker who was shooting up heroin with a prostitute who advertised herself as dangerously insane. “Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.”

Yes... that is different. I would say that person was actively participating in something that turned deadly. I just think a person worshiping God.. in His house.. has nothing whatsoever to do with their own murder.

Here in Va. it is also illegal to carry a gun in Church, but that doesn't mean I go unarmed.

Several years ago a man walked into Mass carrying a back pack and looking somewhat deranged. This was right after the Amish Church shooting.

I told my wife that if I stood up she was to get under the pew and stay there until I came to get her.

I knew that I might not be able to stop him but I was going to distract him and make me his focus long enough for others to hopefully grab him.

Fortunately he was just a homeless guy looking for a hand out, but in todays day and age you never know.

Si vis pacem, para bellum
