This video gave me the chills. Very sad for the 2 congregation members who were shot. But the first good guy to get a shot on the bad guy must've had God guiding his sights. Perfect head shot to stop the thread immediately. Then you see no less than 5 other congregation members draw concealed pistols. Only in Texas ...

Who cares what style it is. Certainly better than being slaughtered!

This happened some time ago. The killer was shot by the security guard.

What really disturbs me about this sort of thing is that even church is not sacred or safe any more. How low have we sunk when you can not even find a place, like church, that doesn't have violence?

If there ever is such a thing as the end of the world, things like this sure seem to be pointing that direction.

What is it with the Wild West analogy? Personally I'm just WAY over hearing that. Every time a pro 2A law is passed we hear a chorus of howls about how it will turn our streets into the Wild West.

And truly that hasn't happened yet. When CCW shall issue happened in most states we heard all about the Wild West, High Noon, gunslingers facing off outside saloons and shootouts over parking places. Didnt happen.

Yet still we hear that most annoying analogy every time some state or local law that is pro 2A goes into effect .

(Sigh)

Wild West - simple - you just take care of yourself and what’s around you with your weapon. In Fl we have stand your ground / I feel my life threatened by you- kapow.
It’s just becoming more and more common. BTW I own, but I really not into carrying it 24/7.

Lets hope...unlike so many times in the past when violent criminals have been able to slaughter innocents with impunity. Our "justice" system is a joke and cares more about criminals than their victims. Turns criminals loose time after time. If citizens want to protect themselves, they have to accept the responsibility to do so themselves.

And are you really offering prayers for a mass shooter?
