Chruch Safety Update 05/20/24

Perspective

The links below include two recent attempts to shoot people inside a church here in the states. Fortunately, in both cases the shooters were not well prepared and were not able to accomplish their objectives. While that is not always the case, many of the lone wolf attacks are attempted by mentally unstable individuals who are not trained or prepared for battle. If your team is trained and prepared when this type of event occurs the odds of stopping it before mass carnage is really good. If not, it becomes a matter of luck, or the grace of God, as to the outcome. My vote is you should be prepared!
