Texas Church Offers Firearms Classes To Train Parishioners To Defend Against Imaginary Marauding Bands Of Mexicans (http://thinkprogress.org/justice/2012/12/04/1272981/texas-church-offers-firearms-classes-to-train-parishioners-to-defend-against-imaginary-marauding-bands-of-mexicans/)
The Times of London reports that several American churches are now offering concealed firearms training (http://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/world/churches-try-to-boost-numbers-by-chasing-shooting-enthusiasts/story-fnb64oi6-1226527426311) in order to attract worshipers to their pews. One of these churches, Heights Baptist in San Angelo, Texas offers a particularly unusual reason why they are now training their parishioners to pack heat — in order to prevent worship services from being disrupted by armed Mexicans (http://www.thedaily.com/article/2012/11/11/news-concealed-carry-church/):
In Texas, where it’s legal to carry guns into any church without a specific no-firearms policy, Heights Baptist in remote San Angelo began offering concealed carry classes in June. The class was a response to security concerns among congregants.
“We’re about 150 miles from the border with Mexico and we’re very unsure about our insecure borders — about what’s coming into our cities,” Pastor James Miller told NRA News. “Personally, I feel more secure that should our worship time be interrupted by a life-threatening intrusion, that we would at least stand some kind of a chance in stopping either a mass killing or terrorizing experience.”
Miller also claims there is a spiritual component to carrying a Glock hidden beneath your Sunday best: “Jesus advises his disciples to sell their cloak and buy a sword. He instructed his people to be prepared to defend themselves.”
