Pro-Second Amendment Pastor Shoots Church Intruder
The Daily Caller ^ | 7/28/15 | The Daily Caller

Posted on 07/28/2015 10:23:49 AM PDT by PoloSec

A pastor shot and injured an intruder at the Church of New Beginnings in Baytown, Texas sometime after 6 a.m. Tuesday, police say. Pastor Benny Holmes was sleeping in his office when he woke up to the sound of someone attempting to break into the church. Holmes then armed himself and shot the burglary suspect in the right shoulder, according to ABC 13 Eyewitness News in Houston.

The alleged intruder, identified as Lee Marvin Blue, was immediately taken to Memorial Hermann Hospital and is now in stable condition. Police described Blue as having an extensive criminal history.

Last year, Pastor Holmes made national news for taking down a suspected package thief in his front yard. Holmes gave a sermon after the incident, telling his congregation why he believes that God approves of the Second Amendment.

I've started carrying my .380 to services since we took a vocal stand on homosexual marriage.
I'm probably the only one carrying, but someone's got to be willing to do the dirty work.

Is my spidey sense right about the genetic makeup of the criminal?

Our big Baptist church in town always has armed people at services. All the cops go there and they always carry.

When a cop carries 24x7, that should tell you that the government actually supports carrying.

Looks pretty close to Houston. Perhaps he got lost.

I know a guy who left his musical equipment in a church all the time. One night, somebody broke in and stole all the equipment they could carry off.

Why they have that photo of a church in England, St Mary Magdalene, with the article, I can’t figure out. The church of that they should have a photo of is Church of New Beginnings in Texas.
