Thanks tornado!
I didn't quite understand the interjection of possibilities. It is a hypothetical question. It is based on the information given. Yes, there are other thing that could come into play in real life. Those things are considered constantly.
A man walking down the isle of a church with a gun in hand is not good regardless of the scenario!
If he did "find the gun outside" & picked it up and carried it "in hand" to the front of the church to turn it in he deserves to be tackled! Maybe twice!
Also, if it was one of he deacons I don't thinker the OP would not have said "a guy".
Hopefully the folks at your church now you buy now! ;)

Re: So you're sitting in church when...
Given the situation, I HOPE I would try to tackle the guy from behind. I am not sure if I would try to secure the weapon while doing so or just focus on incapacitating the guy. I have given a great deal of thought to the subject with latest happenings.
Plus, my maternal side of the family has their reunion at the First Baptist Church in Dangerfield, TX. I would like to think I would be half as brave as Mr McDaniel and Mr Truitt.
To all the others who pose other scenarios into this scenario, really?
I will simply state this;
- if you find a weapon on the trunk of a car DO NOT pick it up! Alert the authorities and baby sit it without touching it until they arrive if at all possible.
- if that is not possible, try not to add or take away from any prints on the gun and what ever you do DO NOT walk into the church gripping it in your strong hand making a bee line to the pulpit. Not only will this cause a panic it will likely cause you great harm. if not death.
Armed with that knowledge I will assume that if the scenario posted took place that there were bad intentions.
Because of the vague possible third party situation and the danger of pass trough shots I would hope to try to physically incapacitate the guy.
Just my $.02!
