I was talking to one of my former college roommates about this whole thing and he mentioned something out that we tend to forget about although it's a logical concept. Usually when we are in church, our backs are facing the doors. How would you stop an armed person when you did not have the split-second time to react? Especially if your first clue that there is an incident is the gunfire from the incident? The person with the carry permit trying to return fire to the shooter would have to identify correctly said shoot in the midst of pandemonium and In the close quarters of the building. And that is just part of the practical/logistical reason for not getting into this -- leave the protection services to the trained professionals. Shooting wildlife and protecting innocent lives in distress are completely different disciplines. A carry permit does not prepare you for these circumstances.

I agree with you. With the number of church shootings, which is amazing, trained professionals should be near the house of worship if it's considered unsafe. Small congregations, who may not be able to afford security, may already know of some pending threat to a congregation. Larger congregation, in my opinion, should have security by default.
