Or carry and stay away from crowds?
An armed society is a polite society.

Very good in a closed in situation like a house or a hallway.
Situational awareness.
I just ran across this story and to think we have to worry about going to a shopping mall out of security concerns at Christmas —or anytime—is very sad to me. Thanks Progressives and Democrats y’all achieved your goals.
I have serious concerns about security at our church for a couple of reasons I won’t get into at this time. Our head usher is also very concerned - he got his concealed carry permit & practices to be proficient. He has also consulted with the local police who told him the church had to give permission for him to carry concealed on their premises. He told the church that if they did not allow it, he would no longer be attending. He’s still there, so they must have agreed.
Christmas Eve the church will be packed with standing room only - I won’t be there. Instead, I will be at a very small church way out in the country. It’s not an appealing target & the good old boy types who attend will take care of business if a problem should occur.
“The same can be said about places of worship, with most attendees using the same entrance and exit. Where are the alternatives? How easily can they be accessed?”
I lived next to a policman. He told me that most churches in our area were somewhat protected. Almost all have a cadre of ‘greeters’ stationed near the front door. He pointed out that those greeters were almost never seen once the services started. Instead, they were patrolling the parking lots and maintaining security on entrances. Almost all were ‘armed’.
Always identify the exits when you sit to eat at restaurants etc etc

And face the door or entrance. After the Gaza incident, I carry all the time.
