I want to recommend my wife’s encouraging Good Friday post NOTHING Ends on Friday. Sometimes we see holy week just as a commemoration of the past, but there are life lessons here as well.

. . . but Barack Obama has chosen Joe Biden as his running mate.
On the other hand, you had the case in Colorado a while back where an arm security guard shot and killed a murder who had already killed several people at a Christian dorm, and had come to the church to kill more Christians. The fact that someone at the church had a gun saved a lot of lives. I am not necessarily for taking guns to church, but I dont want killers to think of churches as a place they can go to knowing that no one else there will have a gun.
I’m afraid I’m into trusting God on what happens in church. I am aware of the case in Colorado, but personally I choose “no.”
On the other hand, the headline thing was too much fun to resist!
There have been numerous cases of shootings by intruders at churches, notably in Texas a few years back. Even Columbine had an element of anti-faith bias in the shootings as the shooters sought out “jocks and Christians”. Attacks against Christians, Muslim and Jewish places of worship are fairly common.
In a “right to carry” state, the prohibition against state-sanctioned permit holders having their guns when they attend church is nonsense. Is it more permissible for them to have a concealed weapon in a grocery store than in a church?
You know if you have cops among your church membership there’s a definite chance they’re armed even in services. Same with some military.
When you carry concealed, a lot of folk think it’s an all the time thing or useless.
Well, I see my commenters seem to be in support of such a law. Let me just say that neither your comments, nor the fact (which I already knew) that people do carry concealed weapons in church makes me feel more secure.
But the reasons for that would take more time than a comment, and my whole post was a snarky one liner!
