Packed Churches: .357, .45, and Glock

Via Billy


Regarding the mass murder in the Texas church, President Trump was correct: it was a good thing that somebody had a gun.

Somebody outside the church had a rifle. He knew how to use it. It will not cost $1 million for the local authorities to try and convict the murderer. There will be no life imprisonment without possibility of parole, and no overturning of that sentence by a parole board. The murderer was transferred to the Supreme Court. I am certain that he has been tried, convicted, and sentenced. There will be no appeal. There will be no parole.

Nevertheless. . . .

If every man in that church had been packing, fewer people would have died.

If every woman in that church had been packing, even fewer would have died.

It is common for most churches to have a greeter at the door. My church has two greeters at the door. If both of them were visibly packing a pistol next Sunday, I would feel relieved. Two greeters, two pistols. This would be consistent with what Jesus taught:

    The rural Southern Baptist church I attended in Lower Alabama almost to a man all of us were armed included the Pastor. and I know my wife at the time frequently carried hers. A poor slob wouldn't stand a chance and we men took greeter duty on rotation and had the service piped out to us. We never, ever had a lick of problems...
