Church security team

[Timthetwin]

My church has a mixture of CCW holders and LEO on our team. We carry radios and position ourselves around the campus. We do trainings and debriefs.

from what i've gathered these guys were parishioners, who, with the church's blessing, were also armed - i don't believe they were paid, volunteered their services, probably trained on their own too

i don't think it matters from a legal stand point - if you find yourself defending your life or the life of others you're within your rights, no matter where you are

the real issue is the civil repercussions - im sure if someone's family member could make a case they'd be suing you, the church, the parking valet, whomever they could

From what I heard the parishioners were trained by a local deputy sheriff that came in and developed a response plan for just such an event. It should be the model in every house of worship, school etc.

I think it's better in our particular situation to have a group of like minded folks who can legally carry weapons than to have a defined "security team".

I don't do church security. I do personal security, whether or not I am at church.

I approve of this ^^^ message

Keep dropping these church mass shooters and you watch church mass shootings cease to exist!

Once mass shooters understand that they WILL be fired upon by church security, and/or church goers for that matter - why attempt mass shootings where people are armed and shoot back!

Why not just put a gun free zone sign? /s

[Mayor McRifle]

I don't do church security. I do personal security, whether or not I am at church.

Exactly. And if you happen to end up stopping a massacre in an otherwise "gun free zone," I'm sure no one would complain about it.

After yesterday's Texas incident, what are the legalities of being on an armed church security team?

Exactly. And if you happen to end up stopping a massacre in an otherwise "gun free zone," I'm sure no one would complain about it.

I'm not so sure of that. At least in California.

Only an matter of time that the Overlords in CA require metal detectors in gathering places of more than a certain number of people. Think courthouse clearance process for collective activities...

The State of Kalifornia is the biggest threat to Churches in this state. Even more than the rare case of a church shooter. They are in the process of trying to justify outlawing pastors from speaking up against the Sodomites.

It is a wicked sin and God specifically tells us to stand against it. He hates it so much, he sent fire and brimstone at one time. This state is so evil.

[Citadelgrad87]

I'm not so sure of that. At least in California.

Who gives an ish?

If anyone ever finds out i was carrying, it will he because fire and noise were coming out of my pistol.

That means i was up ish creek and needed to defend myself. At that point, officer, do what youve gotta do. Ill likely hire a pr firm and its going to suck to charge me.
