You know how I know you are packing?

'Cause you are wearing tactical pants and a "Team Glock" polo at the Sunday morning church service, thats how.

I kid you not... Seen while visiting my mother's church yesterday... and it just screamed mall ninja... errr, uhhh... Church Ninja?

Now, my mother's church is in a small rural town, and its definitely not a formal church. Every Sunday people can been seen in the service wearing blue jeans and polos and sometimes even shorts. Its a church thats filled with a bunch of good old boys and its really a come as you are kind of atmosphere.... But geez, come on dude. That is a bit much.

I will say that I am 100% pro-concealed carry at church. For one, I am pro-concealed carry everywhere else for the simple reason of self preservation. IMO, that should not change when you enter a house of worship. For two, we all know that in today's world churches have become targets for psychopaths who want to go out while making a name for themselves. So I am a firm believer that church's now-a-days need to either have paid armed security or a network of church members who carry concealed.

In my neck of the woods, it has not always been legal to concealed carry in a church. It all went back to the house of worship mentality and people not feeling it was right to have guns at a church. Sadly people actually had to die in order for the law to get changed. It came down to an incident at a church in a very rural location. Some guys came in to rob them of their week's offering and they shot up the place and killed a bunch of people. Of course, the cops took forever to get there (it was out in the sticks) and once they did all they could do was write up a report. Well, thankfully after that incident the laws were changed and now churches can at least have the ability to return fire.

Alternate title: Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition.

*BTW - A little birdy told me that the Glock Ninja was not the only church member packing that day.
