The security team at my brother’s church is pretty pathetic. Insurance required certification, which amounted to having a deputy come and give a presentation. No requirement for actual training. My brother is a board member (meaning he orta set an example), and carries a pistol that he has never fired, and likely has never even dry fired or practiced drawing from concealment. Another guy is in his 80s and has Parkinson’s, and he has did some shooting years ago but now shakes like Barney Fife if manages to even get the little NAA revolver out of his pocket without dropping it. I asked the pastor about it, and he said their insurance covers only those who have taken the safety class. He also said, knowing me, that I am welcome to carry concealed so long as I understand that I’m on my own. Only two guys who I trust, and one of them is nearing 80. Whenever we are there, I have 3 pistols and some other tools, and we sit near an escape.

Now, we’re in a fairly conservative and quiet rural area, so I’m not too worried, but I am ready.

Yes he did say that. If you look into the history of Sen Kaine, he acted and claimed he was a “Christian”.

He reminds me of the communist preacher Jim Jones. Who got many to drink the “kool aid.”

Yes, he did.

Funny the same people whining about fascism are all in on “hail the state” controls.

Shows their real issue is not being the ones in charge of that fascism.

In reply to Chris T in KY. Hey, Chris!! Didn't Senator Tom Kaine recently say that he is troubled that some people think our rights come from God and not from the state?

In reply to A Question, I Haz. I'm fully retired now. But for decades I worked a full time and either a second full time job or a part time job. I liked to work security as my side gig. We got the call a number of times for Jewish temples that had been defaced and vandalized. It made their congregation more comfortable to see uniformed and armed goons there to protect them. Visible deterrence. I always got the most public area in the front because I am large and kinda ugly. More than once I've been told that I look dangerous.
