[Screw-Rice]

Shooter (Sudan immigrant) was stopped by an usher who made it out to his car to get his gun, and held him until police arrived.

Any takers on bets that since it was an immigrant (likely muslim) that there will be "movements" to tear down anything related to him, like we had with confederate statues from the last church shooting?

As the NFL refusing to stand for our flag is on the news everywhere real life continues.

I was highly surprised that the news network stated that the usher had a carry permit and that he went to his car to retrieve the gun to then hold the killer till the police arrived.

This gunna be good..

Bioburner, some people with carry permits prefer to leave their gun in their cars for personal reasons, or the church may have a "no guns" policy. ?? My church doesn't have a policy on this and quite honestly, nobody except my Pastor, his wife, my wife, and a fellow member who is a cop, knows that I carry in church. So I carry on Sunday mornings pretty much every week. I personally don't see the sense in leaving your gun in your car UNLESS you're going into a "no guns allowed" facility which would include banks, post offices, schools, government buildings, etc.

 

[Bioburner]

I was referring that usually the first thing the media covers up is the fact that law abiding individual with a carry permit stops a crime. In MN couple weeks ago had a attempted robbery of a Verizon store and was promptly stopped by the employee who carried. Maybe the new motto should be from a Dirty Harry movie "do you feel lucky punk?"

Fyi Bob, banks aren't gun free zones usually. Unless it something specific to your state, they aren't covered under the law like schools and government buildings are. If you're a loyal customer, some banks are happy to have you carry while you do your business there.

Is there a reason why you would tell anyone, except your wife, of such a thing unless, of course, you are wanded or walk through a metal detector?

Hasn't seemed to make the national news yet.

I've always been in the camp of "loose lips sink ships" and "let sleeping dogs lie". I have nothing to prove and is just part of my occupation. The VP of my bank knows only because I used to compete with pistol at the same local range he does.
Has been ABC news this AM on Good morning America as well as last night

Our church is quite alright with concealed carry. There are at least two who carry every Sunday.

Muslim shooter / White church --- there will be no national outcry; no time of reflection as a nation on immigration policies; no marches; no outcry from the media --- business as usual and soon forgotten.

In Georgia, carrying in church didn't used to be allowed. I'm not sure if that has been changed recently with the campus carry laws.

Both my banks allow carry, some tend to be far more anti though. Always good to double check.

I've had my local news on for an hour, no mention yet.

You are so right!!!! This is just one of the things that i am getting tired of. Makes me want to go out and pull down a statue of something.

It was on the little ticker strip on the news last night while they talked about the stupid nfl thing all night. I barely noticed it and had to rewind to see it. Probably because it was a church, an immigrant shooter, and black on black crime. Had it been a white shooter they would have cut into tv shows for "breaking news". But since it wasnt, it just gets a participation trophy. Smh

I work for the church so the pastor and his wife know I carry. We're very close friends. I'm also close friends with the cop and we shoot together occasionally, so he knows as well. While I agree that generally you shouldn't disclose to people that you're carrying, there are times and situations where it is prudent to do so.

Just another muslim spreading peace. Nothing to see, move along

He wasn't muslim. He was Christian. Migrated from South Sudan which is predominately christian. Member of the church I believe also. I live about 4 miles from that church.

His facebook was full of interesting stuff but most was BLM type, not terrorist type stuff. The media if anything will spin this as "muslim" to keep any B vs W issues down.

Pretty sad as a few co workers were friends/family of a couple people that were shot.

But multiple people in this thread said he was Muslim! Guess I'll have to wait until Trump is done being salty at the NFL to get the official word from him.
