A disturbing trend that we are seeing more and more of in America, it seems, is the targeting of churches for violent actions. Would-be active shooters, people trying to kill pastors, people just looking for those that they perceive to be easy targets. It can feel like the nation is turning into a madhouse, if you’re keeping up with the news.
And one of the reasons that churches are targeted is because, in many places, they are gun-free zones, so would-be mass shooters go there looking to shoot fish in a barrel.
It’s horrible and evil. It is the reality of how mass shooters think, though (they tell us so in the manifestos that so many of them leave behind).
Church shootings and attempted church shootings are what Caleb with Patriot Training Center is talking about today, specifically about why he chooses to carry a gun at church. You can watch his video below.
Obviously, I hope that you never have to deal with a situation like the one that Caleb detailed in the video. But we don’t always get to pick and choose the situations that we have to deal with.
For example, you’ve likely heard about agitators that specifically targeted a church in Minneapolis, Minnesota, which, thankfully, didn’t break out into gunfire.
Of maybe you heard about the shooting at a Catholic church in Minneapolis a few months ago.
And while both of those examples happened in Minneapolis, the pattern of targeting churches isn’t limited to that one city. Sadly, churches are being attacked all over the nation.
That being said, not every church understands the threat that they’re dealing with. They don’t realize how dangerous things can be because they’re focusing on other issues, many of which are, without a doubt, incredibly important, too.
And that’s why it’s a good idea, a smart idea, to consider being able to step in should a situation occur. That’s why you want to have trained to proficiency, why you want to continue to train to maintain proficiency, and why you want to carry daily. Yes, even at church.
Because you don’t know whose life you may have to save today.
