Guns in church

Jason Matthews - well said! People saying it must grieve God's heart that we bring guns into churches. Really?? What grieves God's heart more, bringing a gun into church, or people being killed in church (it happens more than you think) by an evil person? My pastor has at least 3 armed people in our church, and welcomes it. Does he lack prayer or faith? NO. He is someone that realizes we live in a fallen world where evil stalks innocents. Unfortunately, churches do attract some that are mentally unstable as well as thieves that see "low hanging fruit".
