With the current threat in the national news of the domestic terrorist from Wisconsin threatening to target churches and schools, was wondering if you carry a firearm in church.
I used to go to a Baptist church in Idaho in which the preacher always had a little Glock 26 concealed on him, even when preaching. He said it was well within Biblical teaching to do so.
I never felt particularly threatened in church and just wasn't comfortable carrying a firearm while worshipping, so I didn't.
A few months ago, a local pastor was gunned down by a crazy guy during services.
And since the election, tensions have increased between the two political sides as noted by the previously mentioned person.
I think it is prudent to be prepared against evil men, but I do not begrudge anyone who feels differently as I likely felt the same just a short time ago.
