Let's be more specific and truthful.......the man who was able to take down the shooter (who already shot two people) was a skilled and knowledgeable gun owner.
Concealed carry does not require a specific skill level and not any yahoo could have done what he did.....
It is good that the church was able to assign church security to someone who was skilled.
I dare say your fears are not supported by the reality on the ground. Tell us where law abiding concealed carriers are out there killing others because of a lack of "skill."
That's shameful how you were treated. I've lost some acquaintances (not true friendships) over my political beliefs, in particular over my support for President Trump (though some have shunned me for my beliefs pre-Trump). Quite frankly, while its depressing in some ways that this is how people you think you know and love will treat you this way, part of me would be glad to get rid of such toxicity. Quite frankly, I'm too old to deal with such childishness.
I know what you mean, but yes, it makes me sad that if I am going to continue to be friends with this person, who I have known and loved for years and years, apparently I am expected to put up with this stuff. I've definitely distanced myself from her. We'll see how things turn out. I don't need that sort of drama in my life, that's for sure.
Honestly, it's her loss too. I've been a good friend to her over the years. Oh well.
He was a firearms instructor who practiced what he preached
Thank God he was there
And if Democrats like Biden, O'Rourke, and others--who criticized Texas for passing the law that clarified that law abiding citizens could carry concealed in church (Biden called it "irrational" ), we'd likely be looking at far more than two innocents killed.
Incredible example of remaining cool and focused in an exceptionally stressful and dangerous situation. Texas church security officer Jack Wilson, describes the six seconds when a suspect opened fire inside the church.
From a distance of around 50 feet Mr. Wilson fired a single round at the attacker resulting in an immediate kill-shot to the head. Remarkable Interview:

But Biden, O'Rourke, et. al. would be very pleased.

Excellent video. Its amazing to see Mr. Wilson take out "evil" and then calmly provide a rundown of what happened/what was going through his head/what he and his team knew about the shooter before shots were fired. I'm thankful that Mr. Wilson was there.

Sadly, you're right. Had there been more bloodshed, Biden and company could and would be engaging in more sick, partisan attacks and pushing for an increase in do-nothing gun control laws and gun free zone signs.

I'm buy him some Play Doh, maybe a teddy bear. It might help his TDS.
I have threatened liberal relatives with that when they carry on too much.
No.
I just feel like it’s important to be cautious about making people think they can be potential heroes because they’ve got a gun.
Trying to fulfill some John Wayne fantasy...
Well said, and isn't that the truth!
