Changes to gun laws

48. Do you think God protects you while you are in church ...

or merely that no one would ever shoot up a church?

If so you are definitely wrong. Here's one recent example where a man with a carry permit might have stopped a massacre. If he had not been armed, it is quite possible that buckshot would have been flying around the church.

Sheriff: Concealed Weapon Saves Church From Man Armed With Shotgun

BOILING SPRINGS, S.C. (AP) — A South Carolina sheriff is praising a man with a concealed weapons permit who helped disarm someone who kicked in the door of a church armed with a shotgun.

Jesse Gates had already been to the Southside Freewill Baptist Church in Boiling Springs once Sunday morning, so the pastor’s grandson was keeping his eye on the parking lot when he saw Gates come back, this time taking a shotgun out of his trunk, Wright said.

“They locked the door and they were calling 911 at the time. He didn’t draw his weapon or make any move or action toward this gentleman until he kicked the door open and forced the issue,” Wright said.

After Gates kicked in the door, the pistol pointed at him distracted him enough that the pastor was able to grab the shotgun. Members of the church kept him down until deputies arrived, Wright said.
