I just think carrying a handgun is like carrying a knife. its just what ya do. Should I come here and say, a few of us vets and cops carry open at the cockfight? I mean , you know, Whats the big deal. ?? just sayin, no conflict wanted, .

We have 2 police officers in our church and several former military and everyone agrees that with our location and
accessibility we are absolutely a "soft target." There are now about 5 or 6 of us that carry handguns to church on
any given Sunday and I usually conceal carry except this one Sunday morning. Myself and the music ministers son
had been asked to help take up the offering. So as we came forward and a prayer was being offered I noticed that
both of us were standing there with our 9 mm pistols holstered on our belts in open carry. As we sent the offering
plates down each isle I wondered what was going through some folks minds as they eyed our guns and then put their
cash or checks in the plates. It had to be a crazy sight to some and it was funny to me back then but now it's
completely normal to see most of us open carry during church services. God forbid if something happens, I don't
want to be sitting there fumbling trying to get my gun from under my shirt or a jacket.
