Well, I can't find it on the website unfortunately, but I saw the front page of the Arkansas Democrat today at the college library. It appears that there was a church shooting yesterday. I man walked into achurch and shot the preacher, stabbed two others to death and then turned on himself (suicide, as usual). I'll post an article if I can find one elsewhere. Maybe you should tell this to your church pastor. The police didn't even get there before the gunman turned on himself. (My dad said that the gunman is hospitalized and not dead, but I'm not so sure about that)

Here it is. It appears his gun jammed and no one was stabbed "to death" but were taken to the hospital after tackling him. What if his gun hadn't jammed and no one had a gun to stop him with. Surely the pastor of your church (with all due respect) has enough sense to know that the police would not have been able to save those he would have killed had his gun not jammed.

It's cool, I haven't done any extensive research either, I was just stating my point of view. I think you make a lot of sense though. When you look at it, it does seem to be that people like that are going to do it because of a grudge and not only because there is a 30.06 sign on the door, but I think it may do a bit of good (even if it's only a little) to make them rethink their actions if they are aware that the building may have armed men and women in it.

The BG's suicide will be very small comfort to those shot, and their loved ones, before the BG dispatches himself. I don't think God wants me and my family to spend a lot of time in a 30.06 posted building.

Despite the fact that I'm not concerned with what a deity thinks, that's not what I'm saying. I'm trying to make the point that most people who would walk into a building and shoot up a crowd are cowards who pick places where they know no one can carry a concealed handgun and fight back, they kill as many people as possible and then shoot themselves before police confrontation is possible. Which is why I think you all should be able to carry a gun to church. It's the one place you shouldn't have to be afraid.

if only all things were that simple...

With armed CHLs, by the time the police (a) get called (b) dispatch officers (c) officers arrive (d) officers actually enter, the bad guy will be the body with entry wounds from multiple angles.

With disarmed CHLs in the congregation, he'll be the corpse with the self-inflicted wound after he finishes with everybody else.

Yeah, Statistics have shown that the majority of people who walk in a building and shoot everyone up, pick someplace where they KNOW no one inside can carry a gun and never exchange fire with police. They almost always kill themselves. Or atleast that's what a video on school shootings I recently watched said.
