June 18, 201511 yr Author Can you guarantee me nothing will ever happen at my church? Nope. Nor at Walmart, or Kroger, or McDonalds, or,,
June 19, 201511 yr I always feel more comfortable when I see a uniformed police officer in the congregation.
June 19, 201511 yr A serious question...for those of you that carry everywhere, why do you do so?? Was there a specific event or a situation that made you feel unsafe without a gun? I ask because many times, I've considered getting my CCW, especially in light of all these recent events. But in the end, I'm not sure that I'd feel comfortable carrying everywhere. I've worked in some really rough areas, lived in Philly for several years, and have never been in a situation where I've felt I'd be safer with a gun, or felt like I needed that sort of protection. And I know it only takes one incident to change that. I have no issues with those that choose to carry, and respect the right to do so.

I have always felt it is better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it. I could be the only thing between my family dying and living in a given situation.

Same reason I have a fire insurance on my home and several fire extinguishers throughout my house. I know full well the odds of my house catching fire is extremely small but you will still never see me without both the insurance or fire extinguishers.

June 20, 201511 yr As long as I'm not wearing swimming trunks then I'm carrying. That includes church.

I agree! I wish they did not and the whole liberal media thing. It would get more play, and it will get out to more people and accepted by more people.

June 20, 201511 yr I agree! I wish they did not and the whole liberal media thing. It would get more play, and it will get out to more people and accepted by more people. Without out going on my normal anti-liberal rant how would it have gotten more play? The media chooses what to play and what not to. Let's speak hypothetically. What if someone else in the Emanuel Church had been armed and able to take out the evil shooter would we have heard about it in Kentucky? I don't think we would have. First it wouldn't have been "sensational" enough in this era of 24/7 instant news coverage. Second, it doesn't fit the agenda of most mainstream media outlets and that agenda if not 100% liberal is at least strongly slanted left. That's why liberals tend to hate Fox News and talk radio so much. For years all the news they heard was from their point of view. Your own POV ALWAYS seems less radical then and more mainstream an opposing POV.

I thought that this part was interesting: After he was fired upon and hit by Assam, Murray died of self-inflicted gunshot wounds. And while Assam was initially hailed as a hero for minimizing loss of life during the shooting at great personal risk, she later said she was asked to leave New Life Church because of her sexuality (although the church disputed the claim).

June 21, 201511 yr I don't carry in church. So, if one of you out there decides to rob me coming or going from mass this Sunday, please be kind enough to take at least part of it and put it in the poor box. The Society of St. Vincent de Paul will appreciate your patronage. Open invitation for Randy Parker. :lol2:
