I used to attend a church that was in the middle of a gang-ridden (Crips) neighborhood in South Central Los Angeles. I never carried a gun or a weapon. I never even thought about it. I asked Jesus to protect me. And my young son. (He liked the services at that particular church which was some distance from where we lived.) He did. We never had a problem.

Is Jesus not protecting anyone else?
It would have also probably been illegal for you to do so. (California.)
Why doesn't Jesus protect other people from violent crime..? I don't quite understand your last question, Dew.

Jesus never promised safety for anyone. The apostles were mostly martyred.
If you don't want to carry a gun, that's fine -- your choice. I don't carry one, either.
I think most Americans would consider Canada to be a very liberal country. Our Conservatives are probably a tad to the left of Obama.
And nobody around here packs heat to attend Church, even in the poorest, toughest sections of inner cities.
that's not the point. You also do not have the same conditions there as we do here. I said liberals have made my area unsafe for women and children. .
