and the question about defending your church from a terrorist attack, there are lot of American churches that are pretty well-protected.
I am an active member at a large, conservative, evangelical church that is in a "redneck" "red state" location. We have several law enforcement officers (and several others) that are packin' heat. In fact, given the propensity of these friends of mine for large-caliber weapons, like .357, 10mm and .45, any terrorists attacking our congregation would probably be outnumbered and outgunned, except for rocket launchers. In our parking lot are several cars with items in their trunks with calibers like .223, .243., .30-06 and .303 – many of them fitted with scopes. Not only that, but we are surrounded by non-churchgoing neighbors who are sympathetic to us, unsympathetic to anything resembling a terrorist and, shall we say, are a sort of militia. They definitely have any potential terrorists outgunned.
I have been expecting to see a terrorist attack on a church or two in the U.S. If the terrorists have that in mind, they probably need to give some serious thought to knowing the area first. If they hit any redneck churches, they will probably be the laughingstock of hell when they arrive, shot full of holes and wondering what hit them.
