Why on earth would ANYONE need a gun in a place of worship?

Insanity.

Right. Because mosques and synagogues have never been attacked by armed militant lunatics.

Grow up.

So the solution is another armed militant lunatic? Who is a paranoid legend in his own mind? How is that helping anything?

Who said I was proposing a solution? And why do you inject another “armed militant” who is also a “paranoid legend”? You realize there are something like 25 million CCPs currently issued in the US. Virtually 0.0% of those people are what you’ve made up here.

In any event, you’re the one who posted something stupid, namely a claim that a weapon would NEVER be needed in a place of worship. That’s demonstrably false. And in fact, statistically a church, mosque or synagogue is pretty close to the top of the list where a defensive weapon would be most likely to be needed.

Those are facts. I didn’t invent the world. But sticking your head in the sand is not even an attempt at a solution.

Actually, toots, that was my first post in the thread.

The problem we have with this country is too many phucking guns and too many phucking legends in their own minds with guns.

I vote for confiscation of them all.

I vote for annual distributions of magic fairy dust we can all use to fly around on unicorns that piss rainbows.

To protect yourself from other people with guns in a place of worship, obviously. That's freedom. In contrast, tyranny would be if you didn't need a gun in a place of worship to protect yourself from other people with guns in a place of worship.

(Nobody actually believes this except a small minority of gun nuts, yet here we are.)

Great. You can now explain to me how to remove 330 million guns from US citizens to create the scenario you’ve described. If it’s remotely plausible (it won’t be) I’d support it 100%. Until then, I’m carrying.

If you need a gun to feel brave, then go ahead and carry. It's far more likely that your gun will be used to harm than to protect yourself/your loved ones, but that's your decision.

If the goal is to prevent accidental or deliberate injury or death by a gun at school or religious facilities, then the best solution right now is to deploy gun detection screening systems to keep the guns out.

NP. Have sufficient martial arts training to handle almost any situation. Carry for those extremely rare instances where attacker is armed or high on PCP or other drugs to render them impervious to other methods to stop the attack. So not vary likely my gun will be taken or used against me, nor does it make me feel brave. Will never start an altercation and will do everything to avoid it, but exercise my right(s) so that I will be around at the end of the altercation.

You of course are free to make your own choices.
