The Sunday after the Paris attack I was in church and looked for a weapon. The old lady in front of me had a cane and I was determined that if a live shooting occurred I would take her cane and come at the guy swinging it. Mr. Mercat wanted to know whether I would rip it out of the old lady’s hands.

It's "against the rules" to carry in Church in MS, but we have an armed security guard and I'd hazard he isn't the only one with a weapon.

Taking the cane from the old lady would be fine as long as you wiped any blood off it before returning it to her - whatever it takes to preserve life. You sound like you have some of the same gumption that my wife has.

I am going to start carrying an old fashioned umbrella.
