    IIRC, where he lives it would be illegal for someone to be carrying a gun, so it's a relatively safe assumption.

    I'm fairly certain that his situation would be the same at my church, although there is one guy (marine) who could legally carry.
    Enter the Church and wash away your sins. For here there is a hospital and not a court of law. Do not be ashamed to enter the Church; be ashamed when you sin, but not when you repent. – St. John Chrysostom

      The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

        Interestingly enough, that came up - "how bout ex-military"? The security specialists said that's a special problem, because their training is entirely different from defense, and we have the additional challenge of PTSD. It was, indeed, an ex-military person who did the shooting in Sutherland Springs.

          Not only that, but apart from two young mothers everyone I didn't know personally was over 60, under 6, or a priest.

            Depends on what the person was doing in the military. If their job was base security, then that wouldn't be an issue.
            and we have the additional challenge of PTSD.
            Yes, again depending on what the person was doing in the military. The marine who attends my church is a pilot, so I rather doubt he has issues with that. I'd think that most who struggle with PTSD would show symptoms, and not generally be entrusted with this sort of thing anyway.

                Exactly, but they have have been a cook or a procurement officer or a dentist....

                I'm just saying that the standard "include the ex-military" may not always be a good idea.

                          I think only the Preacher should have a gun in church. Full auto.

                            Don't you have to carry a gun to be a Christian? And marry your sister? And chew tobacco? What did I get wrong?
