One of the largest churches in the Phoenix metro area recently held a CCW class AT the church. There were more than 120 people in attendance. At first I thought they held the class because of interest and demand, but I wonder now if it might also be a way to help insure something like this doesn’t take place there.

Church must be in a rough neighborhood! Someone pulls out a gun, and the parishioners pull out their shivs!

I have been hearing about more and more Church’s having security.

It doesn’t say whether anyone was arrested or whether the perp was carried out dead.

Honestly we have a low crime rate in Maine but a lot of people carry leatherman tools.

Here's a photo of the pastor and his family from the church's web page.
I'm guessing this isn't one of those thugged-out urban churches.

Can’t this be considered terrorism under the new laws of Homeland Security?

We go to a large church with multiple services, but they make sure there are people in each service with CCW permits that do carry...some folks are on staff, some just part of the volunteer security detail.

....and Arkansas just shot down (pardon the pun) a bill that would remove Churches as a prohibited place under the Arkansas Concealed Handgun Carry Law.
Idiot Demoncrats and pastors argued that: "Churches are sancutaries, not armories".
Henry Bowman's of Arkansas should pay everyone in that Senate Sub-Committee a personal little visit.
I can prove, yet again, that liberal "feelings" usually have good intentions, but ALWAYS result in someone being hurt or killed.
We need to ban liberals from church, NOT GUNS.
