I don't like the idea.    I want to focus on my preacher and the word being taught that day. I don't want to be distracted by armed security and constantly be reminded that I may be in some sort of danger. 

 Where does it stop?   A person can walk by a window in their home and be shot by someone with a gun.  Does this mean an armed officer should be placed at every occupied house or place of business? Of course not!  Overkill!

Yeah, right. If it were my AR-15 and I was out to kill, I’d shoot the armed guard first. Perhaps he’s hiding, would only slow down his response time and hundreds of body ripping bullets could already be spent in that short time. You know that 90% of those shot in that small Texas church were unrecognizable for all the damage and blood? I digress. No on armed guards. I think it would be buying trouble. Same with school guarms and teachers. Ooooo, my blood is boiling....

Why not arm every citizen with an automatic weapon and have a dozen shoot-outs daily, in every city? Or as an alternative, how about fixing the problem right at its root? Gosh, that's a tough one! Whatever would hunters do?

Churches and other similiar areas are targeted by mentally ill because they know there would be no resistance in the beginning of their bloody violence. Just what a terrorist does , sometimes gets knowledge before they act. There has been and will always be people terrorizing and killing other people , whether gun knife , whatever. Im not going down without a fight, learn to protect yourself. And if i can save a few other people and stop some fool ,so be it. Center mass people. Change with the times. For those who disagree , thats fine, hopefully there will be someone around to put a stop to it before you get killed/injured , lethal or non lethal means.

This raises a few questions that have to be addressed: How many armed personnel are required for each Service and Occasion/Event etc.? Approximately how many times per month will they be required? There will be legal and substantial insurance costs to consider. My question: Who foots the bill? I am opposed to armed guards being employed on a permanent basis. Life goes on, the risks of becoming involved in a shooting incident are minimal.
