Why Do You Need a Gun in a Church

In New Jersey, a man went into a church and shot his wife and two others. The story can be read here.

I post these from time to time to show that crime happens everywhere, and at all hours of the day or night. I am sure these church goers never thought that they might have a need for a self defense tool in a church. But you never know when and where something like this will occur. It only makes sense to be prepared.

Furthermore, criminals often pick the very places, such as schools and churches, where the State has deliberately disarmed the public at large, in the false belief that a criminal who is out to commit murder will be dissuaded by a law that says you may not have guns in a school or church.

I will probably make the point a thousand times, in hopes that someone, somewhere will listen to me, and it may finally sink in-criminals by definition do not obey laws. Therefore burdening the law abiding with extra rules, regulations, red tape only hinders the law abiding. And hinder them it does, because of fear of running afoul of some small point of the law and winding up in prison. The net effect of gun control laws is to render the general populace less able to defend itself. But then, might not that be the real point?
