This morning, a man in a trench coat entered a Texas church and opened fire, killing two innocent people.
Luckily, another man in the church was armed and shot and killed the terrorist.
If a good guy with a gun didn’t spring into action, dozens more would have been killed. pic.twitter.com/TbZp2etgeO

white supremacy in action.
Some were ducking behind the one inch pew wood. Like that would help
From what I’ve seen, most church pews are oak hardwood. So, yes, it’s better than just sitting there being a target.
Looks like the man who took out the terrorist wasn’t the only one in the church packing heat. Good for them. This could have turned out worse than it did already. What a shame two innocent lives are lost.

In a moral society the good guy with a gun would be publically esteemed for saving innocent life and setting a great example for others to emulate. But not in this diseased nation.
oh the nation – the remaining legitimate citizens – do indeed esteem such actions. it’s the foreign tribal news/entertainment/social media monopoly/collusion that’s diseased, not the nation.
And why is that? Who is really in control of our nation … our banks … our media ? Your answer is right there …
” Your answer is right there”
in every generation.
one of the twitter comments says “texas law prohibits firearms in churches”. is that true?
Good ? G-spotter!
It seems good odds to me that the ‘security team’ was moonlighting cops. They get all the perks of manliness. Sure looks like an old smokey with a utility belt.
And I lost that wager: “In September, a new law came into effect in Texas that allowed licensed handgun owners to carry weapons in places of worship.”
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-50942664
Anyone with a lick of sense carries. It wasn’t moonlighting cops. One of the people with a gun was a little old lady….you must be a Yankee.
Bullshit, we carry and can carry openly. I don’t want anyone to know much about me so no open carry. After the horrible church massacre in Sutherland Springs where 27 people were murdered the gov. made it almost mandatory to have armed people in church.
Watch this story get buried. Doesn’t fit the narrative- bye bye, poof….

Obviously hit the wires, and seems reality is reported.

Our church recently went through a security check-up and instituted several changes, including limiting access to the church during services. We also hire off duty officers to patrol the entrance points. In addition, we have numerous members who carry and are part of the security team, as well as several dozen who have CCW permits and carry all of the time.
Just another example of good fortune happening as danger meets preparation.
In May of 2018 I speculated upon that exact same scenario:
“Meditations and Musings, in a Church, on Mother’s Day”
A GOOD guy with a gun is not hard to find, but a HARD man with a gun is better.
When they install the new modem I will read all your trashtalk.
Like the folks we know in Utah.
Exactly one thing makes a man sexy: social dominance. I think Paula can imagine nice shooters spread eagle under a swarm of police ‘policing’ the sichitation. Is anyone here RP. Is this audience at all RP or Manosphere?
RP?
GOOD and HARD would be the optimum, hey?
Lenny, do not encourage her.
LOL, Paulita doesn’t seem to need much encouraging.
I saw that graffito in the men’s room, I never imagined you were that Paula.
That was a heck of a shot under pressure.
actually he had lots of time. the assailant telegraphed everything he did and the guys on the back saw it coming, you can see the first guy in the back stand up attempting to draw his weapon, he futzed around with it for a few seconds before being shot, then the assailant shot the second guy. during all that time the third guy was drawing his weapon (took him a few seconds too), then he finally settled in and carefully fired off a very controlled shot that dropped the assailant.
looks like people need to work on their draw.

“this video has been removed 4 violating youtube’s terms of service”
didn’t take em long,did it?
I know these were older folks, but the guy standing right next to the shooter could have grabbed the gun easily.
As a member of the security team at my church here in Georgia, that video sent chills up my spine. Our group will be analyzing and looking at ramping up our own training efforts. I believe the man that was slow to draw and shot dead, as well as the other guy that did make that well placed shot at ~15 yards, were both part of a church security team and not just congregants.
Actually according to what I’ve read, the members of the security team were also active members of the congregation. I agreed with the earlier posters on here though. The weapons were open carried and the draw was slow. I can see a delayed draw from a concealed carry weapon but for open carry the draw, at most, should have been 1 to 2 seconds.
The video of this shooting, however, is awful. I am wondering just how old that surveillance system is. I have surveillance on my home that is at least 5 years old and has much better clarity than the video shown of the church shooting.
Video from my system was recently used for a collision that occurred in front of my home by the police and insurance companies involved. The collision occurred across the street (more than 100 feet) and you can clearly make out the make, year and model of the vehicle that struck my daughter’s and neighbor’s vehicles.

No mention of race of shooter ?
Hmmm
We’d probably know if by now if it was a white guy.
At my church, a good half the people pack. Some have been friends since high school, including our judge. No fanfare, no BS, just a way of life. Someone is always watching, even during prayer. And we live in a fairly secure isolated area. An unknown person – we have a pretty small population – would be sized up immediately and quietly watched. Knowing these people, I would expect a shooter to maybe get a shot or two off. Probably not even that. Sad, sad, sad to think that we have to be this way, but it’s a dangerous world. Always has been and now the chickens are coming home to roost.
