Yes, this lady did very well. So well that even the rabidly anti-gun media cannot smear her.
Well done!

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colorado (CNN) -- A Colorado Springs megachurch instituted security precautions after a shooting at a Denver area mission center earlier Sunday, saving "hundreds of lives" at the New Life Church, senior Pastor Brady Boyd said Monday.
A New Life parishioner acting as a security guard shot and killed a gunman who entered the church Sunday afternoon after he had gotten no more than 50 feet inside the building, Boyd said.
...
Boyd said the female security guard was a hero in preventing further bloodshed, rushing to confront the gunman just inside the church.
"She probably saved over a hundred lives," Boyd said of the guard, whom he said is not a law enforcement officer and used her personal weapon.
...
"Hundreds of lives were saved yesterday because of the plan that was put in place," said Boyd, who put the number of people on the church campus at the time as 7,000.

He probably assumed that all Christians are nothing but sheep, unwilling to defend themselves because it's the "Christian" thing to do.
Get a Kel-Tec P-11. They now sell the formerly LE only 12 round mags, so I guess it should be called a P-13. If you can live with the long DAO trigger, there is nothing I know of smaller and lighter that gives you 13 nine mm rounds. And 9mm, in modern high velocity HPs, are nothing to sneeze at.
I live in Florida, and I can conceal my P-11 under a loose T-shirt. I use an IWB holster. OWB holsters, for me, sag too far away from the body and print more.
Feel free to read that verse exactly as it is written. (Although I would substitute "sword" for "gun".) Jesus was telling his disciples to bring their bags and purses, and without stopping for a breath, to sell their cloak and buy a sword. I don't see how he could have meant that any other way.
“Smile when you make fun of my man purse!”
God, I love a woman with a gun who is not afraid to use it and blow the perp away. Way to go!!!
LOL........OY VEY !!
I think we ALL outta write to Sarah Brady and express our sincere gratitude and PRIDE in what this American Woman did!
:)
I’ve also got a KT P3-AT (.380)
Sweet little gun for max concealment.

We're starting to learn a little more about him. A little more than that, at least:
The shooter at both a missionary center and a church Sunday in Colorado was a man who once worked on a mission with the center, a source familiar with the events said Monday.More at CNN report *here*.
Worshippers pray outside New Life Church in Colorado Springs after Sunday's shootings.
The source said the gunman -- who was killed by a security guard at the site of the second shooting -- was Matthew Murray.
The shootings left four people dead, in addition to the gunman, and five wounded.
The source -- a long-time member of New Life Church, site of the second shooting -- said Murray had a falling out with Youth With a Mission after working with the organization a couple of years ago and that he sent antagonistic and threatening correspondence afterward.
Murray fired on people at the missionary center in Arvada early Sunday, then drove to New Life Church in Colorado Springs, where the center has a satellite office, the source said.
Murray, carrying a great deal of ammunition, threw a smoke grenade into an area in which some people were gathered at the church after services, then got in his car and drove around to a different entrance, where he fired into a car -- killing two teenage girls and wounding their father, the source said.
Murray apparently fired at other cars as well, the source said.
A security guard confronted him and shot him.
The source said there were three security guards in the area of the shooting, only one of whom had a weapon. That guard fired at him, causing him to fall down, and she told him to drop his weapon, the source said. But Murray appeared to try to grab something that may have been a grenade, so the guard shot him again, the source said.
No one has spoken publicly on behalf of Murray, and authorities have not commented on the source's description of what occurred.
Wow, that Murphy was one pure hellion!

LOL!
I’ve seen plenty of zippered Bible covers. They’d be perfect for carrying a max pistol like a Glock 30 or XD.45.
Just don’t cut up a Bible.
Ok, for Congress then. She showed more grace under fire than any of the bozos in Washington.

Thanks for the tip. I’ll keep an eye out for it.
kudos to you.
So, when the men and officers from the chief priests and Pharisees came to the garden to arrest Christ,[ John 18-10] and Peter lopped of the ear of one of the high priest's flunkies, he did it with words?
>>According to what I’ve read, this guy had a rifle, was wearing a ballistic vest and tactical helmet, and his pockets were BULGING with tons of ammunition.
If you see a link on that, I’d be real curious to see it.
