The last link has a different ending. “It seemed like it was me, the gunman, and God,” said Jeanne Assam, describing her feelings as she confronted a man who charged into her Colorado Springs church Sunday firing a weapon.Assam, a church security guard with law enforcement experience, fired her own weapon at the invader and stopped his attack, police say.”

For pastors, some compare it to the shepherd protecting his flock. It seems a little extreme or overboard. Until that person is needed. Then it just makes sense. But before you decide to carry a gun to church. You better train. Not just pass a training course, but regularly train. Carrying a gun to Church is a personal choice. But it seems to be a wise choice for some.
