Tragedy in our church

I was going to say! I figured it had to be that. I don't have your web cam up, so I couldn't be sure.
I started the application process for a concealed carry permit. I am working with the local sheriff's Office to obtain it. They have said no problem after I documented several threats - two of which came from these boards!
Our church is much smaller, and so it's not likely to be a target. But these days, any public place where thousands of people can congregate should have some sort of security plan in place, and armed guards would make total sense to me. As our church grows, I will be part of that plan.
I'm sorry we have come to this, but we have, and I think we need to fight just as hard to maintain our freedoms as others have to win them for us.

You actually had to document threats to get a concealed carry permit in your state? All you have to do in Maine is pass the extensive background. I carry without a permit ::)

If the other one was who I suspect it was, he finally proved himself useful...for once.

Chas is actually out in the far, far western part of Texas that we kicked out, so he is more of a subject than a citizen...kind of like being from Canada or Massachusetts.

IL Parrothead:
I legally carry a gun in one of the 2 states (IL) that doesn't allow ANY form of concealed carry for private citizens. And, other than on the issue of gun control, I'm pretty liberal too. I think one of the larger issues, that nobody wants to talk about, is the failure of the mental health system in this country, and our criminal justice system's balancing act between our rights as citizens and their duty to keep us safe. This is not the first young man to have shown violent, mentally ill tendencies LONG in advance of their shootings (VA Tech and many others) that went unchecked, unchallenged and were still allowed to legally purchase a weapon. Unfortunately, I think the answer will require a lot of government dollars to get these mentally ill people screened and treated. On to another debate.......
