For those who get the "let God handle it" line, remember Satan's temptation when Christ was in the desert (Luke 4:9-13):

And he took him to Jerusalem and set him on the pinnacle of the temple and said to him, "If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down from here, for it is written, "'He will command his angels concerning you, to guard you,' and "'On their hands they will bear you up, lest you strike your foot against a stone.'"

And Jesus answered him, "It is said, 'You shall not put the Lord your God to the test.'" And when the devil had ended every temptation, he departed from him until an opportune time.

In other words, don't ask the Lord to save you from a lack of preparation.

For touchy-feely, huggy congregations, a Walther PPK or SIG P238 tucks in a back packet quite nicely. A pocket holster disguises the shape.
