  1. If a shooter gets in:
    Pastors or other visible leaders should draw attention away from the congregation. . . .

    What if the pastor is the shooter?

  2. This seems silly. Why not have men in the church bring their firearms?
    Shoot the shooter is a much better solution than letting a madman mow down women and children.

    • I’m a pastor with a concealed carry permit. Maybe I should start carrying in the pulpit? Of course, then Chunck’s comment comes into play. . .

  3. A guy walks into a church . . . how does he know if he’s walked into a “hostage situation” or a Benny Hinn healing service, especially if there is “throwing of hymnals, yelling from multiple directions, and tackling people en masse”?
