Didn't want to hijack pax's thread You don't need a gun in church, and my question is more tactical, so moving the question here.
Let's say you DO carry in church, and you know that others do, too. I suspect there are a number who carry where I attend, but to my knowledge there has never been an organized discussion about coordinated response should the need arise. This strikes me as problematic, as lack of coordination in a crisis could have tragic consequences.
For those of you who do carry in church, have you ever discussed this with others in your congregation, including the leadership? If you haven't, how would you go about initiating such a conversation? My guess is that in any congregation, there would be a fairly significant number of individuals who, even if convinced of a scripturally based right to self defense, would feel very uncomfortable knowing that there are loaded weapons in their midst.
Thoughts and experience?
