Exactly why I carry to church. Luckily I'm legally allowed to!
This one in Colorado Springs, second shooting in CO in 12 hours, unknown if related to the one during the night in Denver.

I heard on the news that the church had a security team and they shot and killed one of the shooters! In todays climate every church need a security team!

Only the smart ones. We had one. Now only God protects them.
The church apparently maintains an armed security team. I had heard of this occasionally on PDO. Some churches have their CC members organized for overwatch duty. I have seen a few very large churches (the one in Colorado Springs is pretty good-sized) with off-duty LEO's but they seem to be traffic-oriented rather than "security" details. My parents church in Memphis is extremely large, numbering several thousand for services, and usually has 5-6 LEO's on-hand as services end. Something to think about in this day and age.

from the pastor of the New Life Church in Colorado Springs that a group of "committed volunteers" were involved in beefing up security after the previous night's shooting in Denver. Something for individuals and congregations to think about.
