“How very sad. I wonder if this is a “gun-free” church.”

I know of very few churches, if any, that are officially gun free.

The attacker in a situation like this always has the advantage of surprise and if has any gun training at all is going to shoot people before taken out. I don’t know about you, but I don’t sit in church watching for crazed gunmen every moment of the service. I have more important things to attend to.

Unless you go to a Mega church I would guess you recognize visitors though.

Maybe it would be different for LE but American's aren't conditioned to violence. Even if armed the church goer would probably not realize what was happening until shots fired. It might even take a few more seconds to process that what they were witnessing was real.JAT

It depends upon your state and their respective concealed and carry laws.
