Thank God for this man and this church. My church has a well-trained and well-armed security team made up of church members (many of whom are ex-military). Plus, no telling how many regular members carrying during any given service (this is Texas, lol).

Would-be criminals need to think long and hard about attacking a church in this day and age. It may not work out so well for them...

IF the lil Hogg had his way, there’s a good possability all these church members would have been injured and/or killed. It’s way better to do away with the lil Hogg and his filthy commie ilk instead.

An ordinary citizen rises to the occasion and becomes a hero!

we Catholics don't worry about security...we believe in being nice even to our attackers.

..saying that tongue in

my mom always told the story of the KofC men going up to where some KKK types were burning a cross on top of Polish Hill in Binghamton NY decades ago and beat the crap out of them....my mother never lied...

it would be wonderful to be part of a church where the men took a very active role as leaders and protectors...

“in critical condition at Stroger Hospital.”

At taxpayer expense no doubt.

I KNOW that in a couple evangelical churches in CNY there are men in the congregation who carry and have concealed carry permits.

In the one church I know who one is and suspect who the others are.

In the other church, I’m not sure but do know that some LEO’s attend there and would expect them to be carrying although I personally don’t know who they are.

But when you see the sheriff’s car parked out in the lot during worship services, you know you’re safer.

Hero? What do you mean hero, if this guy had just sat quietly and passed over his money along with everyone else there wouldn’t have been any violence! This is why we need to only have guns in the hands of trained law enforcement. A man may die to the actions of this hero.., a man who was probably just about to turn his life around.

Good thing now one else was hit by flying bullets. More and more people are realizing that hitting the floor is a life saving tactic as bullets fly.

Josa, are you satire-challenged?

Ack! Not “satire,” but “sarcasm.” But Mastador covered it well just before I spoke up.

ut no report mentions that he had a security guard license, or that he was paid as a security guard.

So he is a security guard, whether he had a license or got paid, he did in fact provide security.
