I had a full sized Ruger Security 9 on my hip while at church today. I used to carry a J-frame, but it occurred to me 15 rounds with a 4 inch barrel, decent sight radius and good sights might be better suited for self-defense in church. My j-frame still goes with me around town or hiking, where my most likely scenario is a “get off me” gun.

Lord willing, I’ll never pull either one except at the range. In modern society, churches are targets.

exterior security cameras along with someone monitoring them during services would give everyone in these situations a heads up on the evil that’s about to be unleashed on them...

That’s what I was thinking. There was more than one on that security team. I would have called out to them, “Shooter down! Go out and secure the entryways and someone call 911!”

But, hindsight, 20/20, and all that. I wasn’t there.

Several more armed guardians are seen later in the video.

The confrontation/escalation that led to the initial shootings are still unknown.

The security guy was probably aware based on his observation and location not to mention the shooters wardrobe in a Church

Yeah, see that now. I hope it was a private citizen who took him out.

The church where we used to go didn’t want people to have guns, the pastor said that GOD will keep us safe, I told him I’d rather have Mr Smith and Wesson to keep us safe.

My pastor, who’s also here on FR, carries his 9mm.

"GOD will keep us safe" on our way to heaven after dying. Didn't the pastor think maybe His plan was for one of you to kill the shooter.

Jesus told his disciples to turn the other cheek - but he also told them to buy weapons for self-defense. That pastor was an idiot.

I prefer to trust God to keep me safe. I also believe I need to do my part to prepare. Trusting God does not exclude arming ourselves. Your pastor was stupid. I grew up with that stuff.
