At least 1 elder and 2 deacons carry in church.

Mine, too! As has been stated from the pulpit. And, he was referring to the congregation.

Our current church's security protocol is based on the understanding that several members of the congregation are known to carry. As soon as my permit is reissued,
I'll join that group!!

The church story was just in the news a couple of weeks ago; it's real. (The spelling errors in the article belong to the author, not to me.)

A gun instructor accidently shot a student in the foot Saturday during an NRA class to receive certification to carry a concealed weapon, Orlando police said.

Robert Frauman Jr., 50, was taken to Florida Hospital after instructor Michael Phillips' firearm discharged about 11:45 a.m., police said.

Phillips, 32, could not be reached for comment. The accident happened at Summit Church, located in a former movie theater near the Fashion Square mall.

The bullet went through a table before it hit Frauman, said Kristy-Lee Lawley, the church's communications director. She said Frauman, a member of the church, was "recovering well" and the bullet didn't break any bones.

For the nay sayers, would you rather have a wooden pole or a firearm?
