Don’t Mess With Texas
30th December 2019
Read it. And watch the video.
This short video is suddenly everywhere. It comes from a livestream of the service at the church near Fort Worth where someone opened fire on parishioners with what looks like a shotgun. He was immediately shot by two legally armed persons, one of whom reportedly was a security guard. It appears that altogether, there were six people who immediately pulled guns in response to the shooter.

The LTC law was modified to allow carry in churches unless the church explicitly bans weapons. Generally, you can’t carry at things like sporting events where there are crowds.
Two innocent people were killed, and that’s a tragedy that shouldn’t be overlooked.
A couple years ago, a lady in my church was talking about how vulnerable folks might be in a church. I suggested that a terrorist might not survive long enough to do much damage. “Do you think some of these people are armed?” I told her I know of several, including one that took the entire church staff out to the shooting range and gave them lessons.
This is Texas, and as Tim loves to say, sometimes the old ways are best.
For the curious, the bad guy in this case was dropped with a .357 SIG.
